"Moving Beyond the Automobile" on Streetfilms

Posted on February 8, 2011 by trasie

How exciting! Streetfilms just posted the trailer for its new 10-part series on reducing private automobile usage. Check it out below:

A new film will be posted every Tuesday, as well as lesson plans and discussion points if you’re planning a screening with a larger audience (especially nice after the DVD becomes available). I’m looking forward to the piece on carsharing, as we just had a great day-long strategic planning session for Calgary Carshare that included some exciting plans for increased visibility and membership in this city. (My to-do list includes “evaluate the membership application process”, “explore new partnerships with like-minded groups” and “bribe volunteers to fill out their timesheets”. And that’s just the first month!)

(Twice in one week. I think that’s a new record!)

First, I’m quoted in the Calgary Dollars Newspaper (Winter 2010 issue, which is available in the FFWD on stands now) in the article “Connecting Bow Cliff”. For those who haven’t heard, the Calgary Dollars Markets are moving to Bow Cliff Seniors – join us on December 13, 6pm-8pm, when 32 local artists/sellers have tables and we’re celebrating the Hundred Dollar Holiday.

Second, I had a BCS member come into the centre yesterday to ask for an autograph. Yes, the Calgary Herald ran a great piece by Greg Williams (and an equally great photo by Dean Bicknell) on Calgary Carshare.
