“The possibilities are endless, and we are so excited to move forward in this partnership with SSi. Eventually, the plan is to have all the content available on the platform for the public, researchers, and educational institutions. IBC has archival footage spanning four decades, shot and produced by Inuit, for Inuit in all dialects of Inuktut. New features will be added on in the coming months as more content gets added,” says Jeff Philipp, CEO, and founder of SSi. It’s also a creative way to showcase the Northern culture and encourage viewers to become content producers of their own. “The end goal is to have servers in every Nunavut community to ensure that data charges are kept to a bare minimum for customers while consuming Qview content. Qview will continue to change and grow with the needs of Inuit all over the world and we couldn’t be happier,” says IBC Executive Director Manitok Thompson. It will be available in daycares, educational institutions and hospitals through the website or a smart TV. This platform will allow our elders in the South to watch hours of Inuktut content and feel like they have a little piece of home while they are away. “We saw the need for a reliable, innovative way of sharing IBC’s archives, children’s shows, and new television programming on demand and SSi was able to provide us with something that turned out to be beyond our expectations. Livestreaming and the ability for the audience to message and interact live with the hosts. Launching on National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21st, Qview will house close to a hundred original videos from IBC, SSi Canada and Qiniq and new content will be uploaded to the platform every week with new updates including It was born out of a necessity to provide remote communities a cost-effective platform to distribute their content without losing copyright control and ownership. Qview is a user-friendly media-streaming platform with a focus on the North and the ability to share and collaborate with the South. The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) and SSi Canada are proud to launch a brand-new communications platform for the North called Qview.
