Today, we hold space for the truth.

As an Indigenous organization, we understand that Truth and Reconciliation is not just a day on the calendar. It's a lived reality carried out in the stories of our families, our communities, and our ancestors. We know the heartache of loss, displacement, and the lasting impacts of colonization. We also recognize the pain that can come when reconciliation is spoken about, but meaningful action is still missing.

This day is a reminder that truth must be acknowledged before healing can begin. It calls on all of us to listen, learn, and walk together in a good way.

We honour the Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and stand with all those carrying the weight of this history.

Reconciliation is not a destination. It is a commitment we make every day.

How we’re honouring Truth and Reconciliation in September:

For the second year in a row, team members at Saltmedia and IT Horizons will be taking part in the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation's Truth and Reconciliation Week Lunch & Learn series. These sessions are open to the public and focus on learning, reflection, and understanding the ongoing impacts of residential schools and colonialism.

As small businesses, we want to create space for learning, meaningful conversations, and action when it comes to reconciliation. That's why we're paying our team to attend these sessions, and afterwards, we'll come together to share what we've learned and discuss how we can continue to take action in our work and our communities.

If you're looking for a way to participate this year, consider joining one of the free Lunch and Learn sessions offered by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation: https://trw-svr.nctr.ca/lunch-and-learns/.

Open to all schools across Canada, this education portal supports free, age-appropriate, education curriculums for students in grades 1-12. Registration is required.

All of us at Saltmedia can vouch for this!

We're fortunate to have IT Horizons as our sibling company and trusted tech partner. Their team is always ready with practical, easy-to-understand advice and support that helps us work more smoothly every day.

The biggest technology challenges aren't always major outages or emergencies.

More often, they're the little frustrations that add up over time:

• Missed calls
• Confusing systems
• Multiple tools that don't work well together
• Time spent trying to make technology cooperate

We believe technology should remove roadblocks, not create them.

That's why we focus on practical solutions, like VoIP phone systems, that help teams work more smoothly and save employers from endlessly waiting on hold with big phone companies.

Because you've got more important things to do than fight with your phone system.

We believe strong communities need arts, culture, and opportunities for people to learn, grow, and connect.

In 2021, when music funding through the local college was eliminated in Grande Prairie, community members stepped up to ensure local musicians still had a place to learn, perform, and connect, and the community could continue to enjoy live music. Their efforts led to the creation of the Grande Prairie Music Society (GPMS), and Saltmedia was proud to become a sponsor.

It was a cause close to our hearts. Alex Saltman, our Partner and VP of Technology, was already performing with both the orchestra and wind ensemble and shared the community's passion for keeping music alive in Grande Prairie.

To keep the music playing, we donated our services to build their logo, brand, website, and designed their posters and programs.

Last year alone, we donated more than $7,500 in services to support the GPMS, along with website hosting and ongoing technical support. This year, we're continuing to help behind the scenes through graphic design, website updates, hosting, and maintenance, so the society can focus on what it does best: bringing music to the community of Grande Prairie.

Today, the Grande Prairie Music Society is a non-profit organization that supports five community ensembles: the Jazz Band, Grande Prairie Marching Band, Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Youth Orchestra.

We’re at the kiʔláwnaʔ Stamiya Two Spirit Powwow. Come say hi!

We work closely with the team at IT Horizons (they ARE our sibling company! 😀), and we know the positive impact the right technology has on day-to-day operations. If you're thinking about upgrading your phone system, give them a call.

Have you ever missed an important call because you were away from your desk?

Or struggled to manage a call with multiple people?

For many organizations, their phone system hasn't kept pace with the way they work. It may be time to switch to VoIP.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a business phone system that uses the internet instead of traditional phone lines. It gives your team one business phone system that works across desk phones, computers, and mobile devices and offers video and conference calling.

Instead of being tied to a single desk phone, your team can stay connected from the office, home, or on the road using one seamless phone system.

The result? Fewer missed calls, better customer service, and more flexibility for your team.

At IT Horizons, we take care of planning, set up, and support for a VoIP system that will fit the way your team works, whether they're in the office, remote, or on the go.

Contact us today for a friendly chat about how we can help you with the right tech for your organization.

Thank you, Ellie!

Ellie’s time with us as a student comes to a close this week, and we want to thank her for everything she's brought to the team. From day one, Ellie impressed us with her friendliness, positive attitude, strong communication skills, and eagerness to learn. She's been a valued part of Saltmedia’s first student cohort, contributing fresh ideas and new perspectives while gaining real-world experience along the way.

Supporting the next generation is important to us, and we believe students bring just as much value to our team as we hope we provide to them. Thank you, Ellie, for being part of this journey. We wish you all the best in what comes next!

We're very grateful to TECHNATION for providing a wage subsidy through their Career Ready program. Thank you for partnering with us to provide post-secondary students the opportunity to learn and grow in the workplace!

Happy Canada Day!

We’re proud to be a silver sponsor for the kiʔláwnaʔ Stamiya Two Spirit Powwow this year!

Promoting dignity, inclusion, and acceptance for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is important to us, and we believe it’s something that should be backed by action, not just intention.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of this gathering and can’t wait to be there. If you're in Kelowna on August 29, this is a great event to attend! And please stop at our booth and say hi to Angie and Carmen.

Happy Pride!

This National Indigenous History Month and Pride Month, we’re celebrating opportunities to do work that carries a legacy.

One example is the Starting Home Fires campaign. This is an Indigenous-led HIV awareness campaign that shares stories around testing, treatment, prevention, and care through 8 beautiful videos and 3 audio ads.

Saltmedia was hired to develop the campaign’s strategy, messaging, and delivery, including working with the partners and Indigenous Leadership team, shaping content, and leading national outreach through radio and Indigenous influencer partnerships.

We’re especially grateful to CATIE the Two-Spirit Program at Community-Based Research Centre - CBRC and Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) for trusting us with this work, and for being open to marketing differently. Rather than paid advertising, we worked directly with Indigenous collaborators, so the investment stayed within the Indigenous economy in a real, tangible way. That’s always been important to us, not just as an outcome, but as part of how the work is done.

Working alongside C.I.A Solutions INC, an Indigenous-owned and led film team, was a big part of this project. They approached this work with so much care and created videos that are thoughtful, accessible, and grounded, even with complex topics that are hard to talk about. Just as importantly, they centred their work within the Indigenous economy as well.

This is the kind of work we’re committed to, not just during Indigenous History Month, but all the time. Work that carries responsibility, that’s inclusive and accessible, and has real impact beyond the project itself. It’s also allowed us to pay it forward... stay tuned!
