Exploring the Car-Sharing Culture Shift in Metro Vancouver
Changing Gears: Exploring the car-sharing culture shift in Metro Vancouver January 2018 Highlights • Vancouver has more car-sharing vehicles per capita than any other North American city. The region’s car-sharing fleet of about 3,000 vehicles is the largest in Canada, and is larger than fleets in key U.S. car-sharing cities such as Seattle, Portland and San Francisco. • An October 2017 Vancity survey targeting more than 4,000 car-share members in B.C. found: n One in three joined a car-share program in the previous 12 months, while two in three joined within the last two years. n More than half of respondents now belong to two or more car-share programs. n The most common reasons for using car-share services are convenience (95%) and saving money (62%), the Vancity survey found, while concern for the environment was cited by 58%. n The strongest car-sharing benefits relate to psychological factors, such as sense of freedom and peace of mind. Getting to certain places are of less significance. n More than one-quarter of survey respondents have disposed of at least one private vehicle to car-share, while 40% have avoided acquiring a private vehicle due to a car-sharing preference. n Younger car-share members are the least likely to say they enjoy not owning a private vehicle. They are also the most likely to say they would sacrifice things such as chocolate and ice cream, an annual vacation and their sense of smell for 12 months, in exchange for the free use of a private car for a year.

Electric Vehicles (Evs) Ecosystem Strategy
Vancouver’s EV Ecosystem Strategy City of Vancouver November 2016 {00580068v1} i | Page Vancouver’s EV Ecosystem Strategy Summary The EV Ecosystem Strategy builds on the City’s experience with electric vehicles, or “EVs”, since 2007; and, formalizes the City’s role in the expansion of charging options until the year 2021. As part of the Renewable City Strategy, the City committed to developing an electric vehicle infrastructure strategy to support the transition to renewably-powered transportation, this is the first five-year strategy to make that a reality. What is an EV Ecosystem? Electric vehicles integrate into the urban environment and daily life in a way that fossil-fueled vehicles cannot. EVs can charge on any accessible electrical outlet, but at the same time require charging times that are much longer than is required to fill up with a liquid fuel. EVs can be fueled at night in a person’s garage, at their workplace parking stall, while buying groceries or stopping for a morning cup of coffee. At the same time, a typical day of driving in Vancouver requires about 4 hours charge time on a wall outlet, one hour on a “Level 2” station or about 3 to 5 minutes at a Fast Charging Station. In expanding access to EV charging in Vancouver, the City considers all of these interactions and the required time to charge a car. The integration of EV infrastructure into the community requires an understanding of the types of homes and businesses in each neighbourhood, the existing EV charging network, and the amount of time residents spend at different services in that area.

Co-ops in Schools 2016-17 Annual Report BC Co-op Association Katherine Levett Program Manager June 2017 June 2017 | www.bcca.coop Overview The Co-ops in Schools (CIS) program continued its goal of increasing awareness of the co-op and credit union sector amongst students, while connecting our membership to schools. This year the program grew to new schools, connecting more students to the sector, and expanding into new regions across the province. The CIS program connected the sector to students in multiple disciplines from, BCIT, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Langara College, Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia, University of British Columbia Okanagan, University of the Fraser Valley, and University of Victoria. Over an 8 month period students received mentorship from various credit union and co- op sector representatives, engaged in co-op learning activities, experienced a co-op crawl, received lessons on co-op enterprises, and led high school students across the province in learning about co-operatives through writing co- op business plans. Our CIS partners this year contributed to aiding and facilitating the learning of students both in high school and post secondary programs. Our partners contributed to the program by mentoring, networking, providing financial planning lessons, judging and giving feedback for business plans, and touring students around on the co-op crawl. [email protected] | www.bcca.coop| 2 Awareness CIS provided education about the co-operative business model and principles, promoted co- ops and credit unions as solutions to consumer needs, and showcased our members’ work by using them as examples in lessons.

Market Alternatives
Foreword ‘Re-Source: Market Alternatives to Ancient Forest Destruction is the second in a series of Greenpeace reports aimed at the corporate con- sumers of forest products to help them end their role in ancient forest destruction.The first report, Buying Destruction: A Greenpeace report for corpo- rate consumers of forest products, released in August 1999, profiles major logging and wood trading companies active in the remaining ancient forests of Brazil, Cameroon, Canada, Chile, Gabon, Guyana, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Russia. Greenpeace believes that individual and corpo- rate consumers have the right and a responsibility to choose wood and wood-based products which do not contribute to environmental and social degradation. Re-Source focuses further on how corporate con- sumers can find viable alternatives to ancient for- est destruction. Alternative approaches include the development of good purchasing policies (to avoid a situation where ancient forest products are simply replaced by other ancient forest prod- ucts), efficient (‘clever’) wood use, adoption of the precautionary principle (the development of mea- sures which reduce wood use in the future), etc. Most of the products described in this report are readily available in the marketplace, though not yet in every country. Some alternatives discussed are not yet available on a significant scale; these The cover of this report is are included where their potential seems particu- printed on 50% totally larly promising. chlorine-free and 50% This report is divided into three main parts.
