Fix It with Farrell

Can't find the key? There might not be one! Several of our cars have a Push Button start switch and do not need ignition keys.

If you haven't driven one of our keyless cars yet, take a look at this month's FIWF.

Music Heals: Q&A with Andrea Matchullis

Modo has partnered with the charity Music Heals for the Canada Running Series Modo Spring Run-Off 8k to support local music therapy at the Dr. Peter Centre.

We spoke to Andrea Matchullis, resident music therapist at the Dr. Peter Centre in Vancouver`s West End, to learn more about this unique form of therapy and the impact music can have on patients.

Thanks to all our members who participated, together we brought another 16 iPods to the program — and you can still donate your mp3 players!

On the Blog

>> MUSIC HEALS  Support music therapy by donating your used mp3 player! Drop it off at the Modo office on Fort Street or any Modo. Here's how it works

>> SEYMOUR SPOTS  We added two additional parking stalls at Mt. Seymour for back country use, right at the top of lot P5. That makes six in total!

>> PROMOTION  Opening a new credit union account? You could get up to $200 Modo driving credits! More

Community Calendar

Our Community Calendar is open to submissions for local events held within Greater Victoria and surrounding areas. To ensure our calendar remains focused, we ask interested parties for a perk for members in exchange for placement. This could be a small discount on admission or other event-related costs, or something that best suits your event.
