We had great fun working with the team at UBC Faculty of Forestry on the second video series we’ve produced for them. The new series is designed to show students what to expect for the Fall 2020 semester, and to explain how they’ll be inspired by the interactive and engaging education they’ll receive.

You can watch the full video series here or watch our highlight video above.

Do you want to tell your community about the changes you’ve made as a result of COVID-19? Video is a great way to do that. Contact us to learn more.

Elettra Communications has been thrilled to be involved in the Forestry Friendly Communities initiative for nearly a year now. Through videos and features, we tell the stories of hard working forestry and logging folks – everyone from foresters to pulp mill workers; educators to students; truck drivers to scientists; as well as community leaders, business leaders, and local groups like outdoors clubs.

Our main platforms to date have been the FFC website and Facebook page, but this week something very exciting is happening. We're heading to Port McNeill for the first annual Forestry Proud Day event. It's a concept we've been developing over the past six months along with the FFC committee. The idea is to get people together in person, and stand up together and say: “we’re proud to work in forestry!” 

The event includes a flag raising, fun activities, and a BBQ, and we're looking forward to making it an annual event. 

If you're on the North Island, come to Port McNeill on Wednesday to see what it's all about. If not, take a look at this video and the head over to Facebook to tell us why you're forestry proud.

For the past couple of months we've been working with our friends at Decoda Literacy Solutions on the relaunch of their Digital Badges program. What are digital badges, you ask? Well, they are the new way to digitally display your unique skills, knowledge, and experience. They are issued by a variety of organizations in recognition of achievements and learning. And they are changing the way we introduce ourselves to the work. 

But don't take our word for it! Watch this nifty new Decoda Digital Badges new video that we created in partnership with the amazing talent at Hyphen Communications. 

Hyphen also created a brilliant infographic that explains exactly how digital badges work, and why they are such a huge improvement over the paper certificate of yesterday.

This week, literacy practitioners all across BC will receive their a digital badges kit, featuring a host of resources designed to help the spirit badges catch fire in every corner of the province. 

We've loved working on this great project, and we encourage everyone to check out digital badges today.
