r/NiceVancouver.

25k+ users, we do practically zero moderation. Surprisingly it's pretty damn civil and great.

 

It's been on the back-burner for a bit but it's time that I get on it and register our operation as a on-profit organization. We will be registering under the BC Societies Act. Completing this registration will allow for opening up a bank account under the organization's name and reopen donations and have the previously donated funds transferred from @smorks@lemmy.ca to the organization.

To this date since taking over operations of Lemmy.ca I have personally covered the costs and have not been reimbursed to keep accounting as clean as possible. This will continue until registration has been completed.

First step to this is picking a name to register the Society under. Requirements for the name can be found here.

While the initial main purpose of the society/organization will be operating Lemmy.ca we would prefer a name that would be fit for operations of other open communication platforms as well as other potential projects that we may want to participate in in the future. Something somewhat open ended.

Please give us some suggestions and we will take the suggestions under advisement when picking a name.

Further information on non-profit registration in BC can be found here.

I never had COVID until everyone stopped caring about it. I'm on my 4th time having now.

Do not recommend.

I really don't believe their story that they are going to actually have enough crew available to have every single vessel in the fleet sailing.

I'll believe it when I see it

I'm just curious, any reason everything you post seems to be from the paywalled WinnipegFreePress.com?

I'm getting an uneasy feeling about that.

Average amount of on the job training a driver gets when hired is probably half a shift. You're expected to know and be able to do it without any additional training.

I think that's totally wrong and bullshit but that's what's going on out there. Where I work it's 4-6 weeks full time for a driver with experience, 6 weeks to 10 weeks or so usually for a new driver, we've had at least one do 6 months+. We're a definite outlier tho and probably do the most on the job training out of any trucking company in BC.

Done. You have been removed as a mod.

Correction: "you cannot get any closer legally"

I've seen many people to over the fence. Not a great idea at all.

See if you have the "Transfer Community" as an option when you click on the 3 dots for one of my comments in this community.

Apparently I can't transfer it to myself, if you can't we'll have to wait for one of the other admins to transfer it then I can remove you after.

6 months isn't enough.

And competence is never a substitute for double, triple and quadruple checking everything.
