Car sharing coming to Saskatoon?

Fed up with skyrocketing gas prices? Tired of costly car repairs and insurance premiums? Sick of driving in circles trying to find a parking spot? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be a candidate for car sharing. Heather Trueman believes that a car sharing program would go a long way towards making Saskatoon a more environmentally-friendly city. "We need to do things differently," she says. "We need to find ways of getting people driving less." Trueman, an environmentalist and self-styled sustainability consultant, has spent the last few months studying the feasibility of a car sharing cooperative in Saskatoon.For anyone who wants to learn more about car sharing, or get involved with the program in Saskatoon, Trueman will be hosting a meeting on Tuesday 9 September at 7:30 p.m. at the Victoria School library located at 639 Broadway Ave. Star Phoenix
