Communications
Our mission is to keep our community informed and connected. We manage the official website and Sipekne’katik Smoke Signals mobile app, and we lead our presence on Facebook and Instagram to bring updates directly to your screen.
From producing community videos and designing event posters and logos to drafting the Sipekne’katik Spotlight monthly newsletter and the Annual Report, our team works to celebrate our community’s achievements and share important news.
We believe that staying connected makes us stronger, and we are dedicated to being a reliable source of information for all our members.
