AUGUST 2007

Exciting Times at People's Car!

I'd like to take a moment to share exciting news with you as car sharing grows in Waterloo Region.

First of all, in the coming months, you'll be noticing a change in our brand from "People's Car" to "Grand River CarShare".

Yes, it's still us, just with a makeover. By including "CarShare" in our new identity, we describe our function with ease as we introduce ourselves to members of the community. The use of Grand River connects our environmentally conscious service with the area's natural heritage, in recognition of the watershed we call home. It also reflects the naming convention of our region as we expand our services.

As you may have heard already, we are growing beyond Kitchener-Waterloo, placing our next vehicle in Cambridge! This tenth vehicle in our fleet is located in Galt, with easy access to the University of Waterloo's School of Architecture, and Grand River Transit's Ainslie Terminal. If you are driving to Galt, Paris, or Brantford, you can shave an hour off your booking by riding the iXpress bus to the end of the line.

We hope to see you at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) this September 27th at 7pm at WLU's School of Social Work, as Ontario's first car sharing organisation heads into its 10th anniversary year.

Jason Hammond
President

JUNE 2006

People's Car launches new Bike-Share Network

People's Car has launched a new community initiative called the Bike-Share Network. The Bike-Share Network is modelled on community bike-share systems that operate in many European cities. Bicycles (donated by Recycle-Cycles) are located throughout the cities of Kitchener-Waterloo and are free for existing People's Car Co-op members to use. If you are not currently a co-op member but are interested in using the bicycles you can join the co-op as a Bike-Share Member. There is a one-time fully-refundable $20 membership loan (acts like a security deposit). Once you have joined you too can use the bicycles for free. Because bicycles are now permitted on GRT buses (i.e. on the exterior bike racks) we hope that the Bike-Share Network will make getting around that much more convenient.


APRIL 2006

People's Car is now a registered GRT ticket agent

People's Car is now a registered Grand River Transit (GRT) ticket agent. As such we now sell GRT adult tickets as well as reduced tickets. We hope that this "complementary" transportation service will asist our members (as well as the general public) better meet their transportation needs.


NOVEMBER 2005

Associate Non-driving Membership launched!

To make investing in People's Car debentures easier, beginning November 1st membership is also available for non-driving members. For a membership loan of only $10 (fully refundable) you can now join as an Associate Non-driving Member. This will enable people who support car-sharing as a more sustainable mode of transportation to invest in it and earn a 5% return. For more information about the debentures see below.


SEPTEMBER 2005

An exclusive ethical investment opportunity!

The Board of Directors is pleased to announce an exclusive investment opportunity
for the members of the People’s Car Co-operative Inc.

Beginning October 1st, you will have the opportunity to make an investment that will earn you a healthy return - 5% per annum - while supporting a local business making a social and environmental impact. Who ever said ethical investments had to earn poor returns?

People’s Car is structured as a non-profit co-operative enterprise. Every member has an equal stake in this business and an inherent interest in helping it succeed. To keep the co-op growing, we need to raise capital – and we want it to come from our owners/members!

We are making this investment opportunity available to you under the authority of the Ontario Co-operative Corporations Act, which permits co-operatives to issue debentures to their members. This is the first time that People’s Car has offered debentures but we plan to make this an annual exercise.

As a non-profit co-operative, we do not have access to private sources of capital that traditional corporations do. Currently, our only capital is in the loans that members make when they join the co-op. Though these are the equivalent of shares in traditional corporations, accounting standards require that our financial statements represent this capital as debt. This makes it difficult to attract financing.

While we have been able to acquire vehicle loans, and we have convinced local municipal governments (the City of Kitchener, the City of Waterloo, and the Region of Waterloo) to extend lines of credit to us, we want our members to invest in us because:

  • We need access to more credit to be able to keep expanding our membership until we meet our break-even point;
  • The interest on our debentures will be more economical for the Co-op than our lines of credit with local municipalities; and,
  • Having members invest in the Co-op will promote local economic democracy.

A minimum investment of $500 earns you a 5% return, far higher than other long term
investments (such as GICs) currently available in the financial sector. Please contact the office for more details.


SEPTEMBER 2005

People's Car will be holding its 2005 Annual General Meeting:

Date: Tuesday, September 20
Time: 7 - 9pm
Location: 43 Queen Street South, Kitchener

Each year we hold a General Meeting of the Co-op membership. This allows staff and current Board members to report on the financial standing of the Co-op and the projects on which we have been working.

If you have skills in areas such as marketing, strategic planning, finance, fundraising, legal, communications, human resource development, etc., then consider joining the Board.

We have Board "job" descriptions available (e.g. secretary, treasurer, etc.) for review, offer occasional training workshops, and the opportunity to contribute to this business in a meaningful way. Time commitments of two hours per month (or more, if involved on any Board committees, e.g. Finance) are required.

Interested members may nominate themselves or others to the Board by completing a Nominations Form and submitting it by September 19th to info@peoplescar.org or to our office . Alternatively Nominations Forms will be available for completion at the AGM.

If you have any questions about the "job" descriptions, please contact us.

Please plan on attending the AGM! There will be snacks, beverages, and door prizes!
