I haven’t checked into what it means officially, but the Wheat Pool’s new name has “terra” in it, which presumably means “earth”. The Vi could mean “virgin”, “vitamin”, “victory”, or maybe “vicious”. Vicious Earth Pool?
I guess none of us guessed right as to what the name change would bring.

CJME found the answer for the name’s meaning.

Last night I attended a meeting and potluck dinner for people interested in creating a car share organization in Regina. One of the fun bits was picking a name. What do you think an organization responsible for managing a shared vehicle for members of the group, should be called?

Auto Pimp? Who’s your caddy?… ok no I think I would just go with something like Auto Share or Car Share, then people know what it is by looking at the name.
Car by the minute? Community Car?

Since I think that Regina is too small of a city to probably make this car sharing work, I’d call it “Cartastrophe”.

Regina has poor public transit though so something like this might work…. but I do like CARtastrophe…. :)

CARtastrophe is catchy, but not appropriate in this case based on my personal observations of those involved in the project.

How about Regina Car Co-op?

Regina Co-op Taxi? ;-)
Think it’s taken. That’s about as good as the taken Viterra!

Car Pool…it will either sink or swim. :)
[EDIT: (Saskboy writes...) I note that we could call it Saskatchewan Car Pool, but we could save time and just choose Vroomterra right now ;-)]
