About Qview

Qview was born out of a necessity to provide remote communities a cost-effective media-streaming platform to distribute their content without losing copyright control and ownership.

The first version of Qview is a media-streaming platform hosted at the Qiniq Data Center in Ottawa providing southerners with access to northern content and providing northerners with culturally relevant content optimized for constrained satellite backbones.

As Qview develops with additional partnerships, our intent is to deploy local Qview servers in every community so that locally created content does not have to go over the backbone and can be distributed much more cost-effectively. Furthermore, Qview will be a media outlet where content creators can use web-based tools that we are also developing (such as Qme, an upcoming video conferencing platform) to distribute their content to other Nunavummiut.

Our first partner, the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, was a catalyst that prompted us to finalize Qview for public use. We see lots of opportunities for local, governmental, and Inuit organizations who want to create uniquely Northern content and reach out to wider audiences.

Uakallanga - Kakkivak (spear)

Description: For centuries the fish spear known to Inuit as the Kakivak has been in existence. It has assisted Inuit in spearing fish from rivers. This spear would have been made mostly from bone and occasionally driftwood for the long shaft; the point would have been sharper, at times made of rock, but mostly bone. These days there is plenty of wood around, and the point could be made from steel, brass or other hard elements. In this episode we will watch Solomon Awa, a hunter from Iqaluit, originally from Pond Inlet demonstrate the making of a modern Kakivak.

Canada C3 - D'un Océan à l'Autre

Description: Le fondateur de SSi Canada, Jeff Philipp, s'est joint à l'expédition Canada C3 à la neuvième étape, de Pond Inlet, au Nunavut, à Cambridge Bay, en Colombie-Britannique. Canada C3 était un voyage épique de 150 jours de Toronto, en Ontario, jusqu'à Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique, via le passage du Nord-Ouest pour célébrer le 150e anniversaire du Canada en explorant la diversité des cultures, de l'environnement et des communautés tout en voyageant d'un océan à l'autre. Il s'agit d'un projet de communication sans précédent, rejoignant des millions de Canadiens via Internet avec des mises à jour quotidiennes en direct, des vidéos en continu, des photos et des entrevues. Sans l'innovation, l'expertise technique et la contribution de la capacité satellitaire de SSi Canada, ce projet n'aurait pas été possible.
