Positive visioning
Help people get good info, trust they’ll make good decisions
Inclusion and openness

Inner and outer transition
Subsidiarity: self-organization and decision making at the appropriate level

16. TG “Elevator Pitch”
Transition Guelph (TG) is made up of volunteers dedicated to strengthening local resilience through projects and events. Projects are initiated by community members and grow according to local needs and resources. Most people are aware that the world is changing and, with your help, TG is here to help our community create a positive vision for the future and be ready to transition and adapt to the “new normal”.
