Behind the Scenes

October was another busy month for us here at Moose Media and for the community in general. While our main focus was the 2024 Provincial Election, we had time to participate in other events throughout the city.

For example, Dub and Ed were able to attend a walk​ honouring Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls on October 4 at the Treaty 8 Tribal Association, Max was able to see Duo Cordelia​ at the North Peace Cultural Centre, and a bunch of us dressed up for Halloween at the office. As we get closer to the end of the year, there are a ton of events planned so if you see any members of the team, make sure to say hi!
