Non-Profit Registration: Name suggestions.

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 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.

cyborganism,

Did you ever find a name you liked?

LillyPip,

I don’t have a suggestion, but I want to thank you for all your hard work to maintain this community and everything you’ve done going above an beyond.

I’m not able to financially contribute, but I’ve UX/UI/usability and graphic design skills (I was a top 3 finalist for an Apple design award) – I’d like to offer that if you need those services.

Thanks so much for making this community a success!

CanFederation

(just thought it was cute, probably not a good overall name)

ono,

Marmot Social

(Marmots being common in Canada. Beaver Social came to mind first, but I guess some folks might make false assumptions about that one.)

ono,

Northwest Passage

Grimpen,

Ah, for just one time

I would take the Northwest Passage

To find the hand of Franklin

Reaching for the Beaufort Sea

Tracing one warm line

Through a land so wild and savage

And make a Northwest Passage to the sea

YourAverageKirbyFan,

Thanks for running this!

ono,

Cagora

(Based on Canada + agora)

LEMMYS:

Lame Eccentrics Mostly Making Yapping Sounds

Local Ernest Morons Monologueing Yearningly Sometimes

Lighthearted Edgy Magnificent & Marvellous Youths Swearing

Lovable Ethically Mediocre Miscreants Yellowing Slowly

I could go on, but it’s getting late.

True north social association

TemporaryBoyfriend,

Isn’t ‘True North’ a far right conspiracy blog pretending to be a news site with murky sources of funding? i.e. propaganda network?

If it is, I’ve never heard of it. It’s literally from our natural anthem.

It’s also a fidelity mutual fund, since at least 20 years ago.

TemporaryBoyfriend,

I just looked it up, and while I’m not going to link to it, it definitely a far right shithole propaganda site. I’d want to avoid any indication that could be mistaken as a relationship.

Gellis12,

I can’t believe nobody has proposed Lemmy McLemmFace yet

tunetardis,

A question regarding those of us who had signed up to make regular donations. Will this need to be redone once the paperwork is all sorted out?

TruckBC,

Yes it will need to be redone.
