Celebrate Co-op Week!

Join us in celebrating Canadian Co-op Week from October 16 to 22!

 

Co-op Week is a good time to reflect on the seven Co-op Principles that have helped shape Modo for nearly 20 years and set the foundation for our vision, values and objectives.

 

One of the Co-op Principles is community. And among of the best ways to foster community is through sharing stories. It is also a great time to join a co-op and support the sharing economy. Co-ops are represented in most sectors; find them all at BCCA

 

Whether it's members telling us what they think of our newest Modo location in Saanich online, engaged volunteers at our events like Bike to Work Week and Victoria Pride, or Business members like Thinklandia and My Accio sharing their Modo stories, our members' participation and engagement is what keeps us connected to our members and determined to do our best! 

 

Stories strengthen our co-op community. Share yours with us or participate as a Modo Ambassador. Email marketing@modo.coop your story or a link to your blog and/or social media profiles if you'd like to be an ambassador.

Greater Victoria

Saanich — Saanich Core

NEW LOCATION at Rutledge Park: You can find a 2016 white Toyota Prius (#816) in an on-street space adjacent to Rutledge Park, on Inverness Road just west of Glasgow Avenue.

 

If you have potential leads on available parking in and around the Victoria area, please let us know! We're particularly interested in visible, accessible surface in Jubilee, Vic West, and Downtown, where we could put a Modo sign and reserve a permanent stall.

 

Lower Mainland

Burnaby — Capitol Hill

NEW LOCATION at Capitol & Springer: A white 2016 Honda Fit (#837) now lives in the 5100 block of Capitol Drive, between Glynde Avenue & Springer Avenue.

 

Burnaby — Lougheed

UPGRADE at Cameron Rec Centre: a 2017 white Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (#834) has replaced the 2009 Nissan Cube.

Vancouver — City Hall area

We no longer have vehicles at The Rise or Fairview Vancity. 

 

The grey Nissan Versa (#438) has moved from Fairview Vancity to City Hall Surface Lot.

 

The blue-grey Nissan Sentra (#566), the white Nissan Sentra (#508), and the blue Mazda 2 (#360) have all moved from Fairview Vancity to a new location at City Hall - Cambie & 12th Ave

 

Since we now have two clusters of cars along the upper deck of City Hall, we've renamed them City Hall - Cambie & 12th Ave and City Hall - Yukon & 12th Ave so that they're easier to tell apart.

 

Vancouver — Downtown Eastside

NEW LOCATION at Maker Labs: a 2015 white Nissan NV 200 cargo van now lives on the southwest corner of East Cordova Street & Hawks Avenue, beside 780 Cordova.

 

Vancouver — Grandview-Woodland

On the Road: Push Button Cars

If you've never driven a car with push button ignition, you might be intimidated when you reach for the key and can't find one.

 

Don't worry, Farrell explains how to start your trip (and end it) in a few simple steps!

Modo at Rutledge Park

Find a new Prius hybrid at Rutledge Park, right at the corner of Inverness Road and Glasgow Avenue.

 

“We’re excited to put a car in Saanich,” said Patrick Nangle, Modo's CEO, “where we already have around 20 members within 500 metres of the Park ready to put our new Prius Hybrid to good use. It’s great to see the District’s willingness to support us with parking.”
