Celebrate TELUS STORYHIVE’s 10 Year Anniversary!

Today, we are kicking off the celebration of TELUS STORYHIVE's 10 Year Anniversary. We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone and recognize our incredible community of content creators and partners across British Columbia and Alberta.

Thank you for a decade of support. 

We have so much to be grateful for as we celebrate the 10 year anniversary of STORYHIVE. This program is where it is today because of our content creator’s immense talent, drive and creativity. We also could not do this work alone, it takes an entire community of organizations and diverse community voices who help deliver these first rate programs.

Thank you to all the remarkable organizations, partners, team members and individuals who have contributed to the growth and development of STORYHIVE programs over the years. 

We would also like to thank our Optik TV customers. It is through your business that we are able to fund our programs and continue to support Canadian content creators for many years to come. 

Cheers to 10 years!
