Reliable IT for
First Nations administration.

Band offices, health programs, education, emergency operations, and economic development arms. We work with administrators who want the network to just work, with funding pathways that make sense, and with a partner who shows up.

// WHAT WE COVER

Across the whole administration.

Band offices, health centres, daycares, schools, public works yards, water treatment, and emergency operations. One vendor, one contract, one phone number.

// HOW WE WORK

Practical, accountable, and on the ground.

We are based in Prince George. We drive to communities across the Cariboo, Skeena, Bulkley, and Yukon. We do not pretend a Toronto MSP can serve a community on the Stewart-Cassiar.

// 01

Local presence

Prince George yard, fleet of trucks, ability to be in most BC communities within a day. Yukon and far north on schedule.

// 02

Funding-aware

We know the difference between ISC, FNHA, and CIRNAC funding pathways. We help write proposals when it helps you get the budget.

// 03

Community-paced

We adjust around council meetings, ceremony, hunting and fishing season, and the rhythms that actually run the office.

// 04

Plain talk

No jargon at the council table. Reports to council in language anybody can read. Detailed technical docs available when wanted.

// QUESTIONS

Things people ask us.

If your question is not here, ask. We answer email within a business day.

Do you work with funding agreements?
Yes. We have invoiced under ISC core funding, FNHA contribution agreements, and community-owned business arrangements. Audits welcome.
Are you a vendor on Indigenous procurement lists?
We are working through PSPC's Indigenous Business Directory listing and registration with regional procurement programs. Ask us for current status.
How do you handle data sovereignty?
Microsoft 365 Canadian data residency by default. We can keep specific systems on community-owned infrastructure if council prefers.
Can we use you alongside our in-house tech?
Yes. Most of our community engagements support an in-house administrator or IT lead, not replace them.
What does a first call look like?
Thirty to forty-five minutes, no pressure, no sales pitch. We listen, you describe the situation, we say honestly what we think makes sense.

Coffee in Prince George, or we drive to you.

Send an email and we set up a call or a visit. No commitment. If we are not the right fit we will say so and point you at someone who is.
