RIH Foundation | Gaglardi Family Gift Announcement

On November 3rd, the RIH Foundation announced a transformational gift of $15 million from the Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Foundation to support the Together We Rise campaign and inspire community giving.

This gift is the largest-ever donation received by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, and will allow our hospital to reach heights never imagined. The equipment and programs Royal Inland Hospital will be able to offer because of this gift, will mean not only exceptional patient care, but the ability to attract new physicians and staff to both our hospital and our city.

Thank you to the Gaglardi Family, for loving our community as much as we do.

ACRES RECRUITMENT VIDEO

We create several recruitment videos for BC businesses each year, and our main goal is to make viewers feel as though they want to work for the company (even if it's not part of the industry they currently work in!). How do we do this? We start by collecting genuine stories from real employees, who are passionate about what they do.

Creating this recruitment video for Acres Enterprises Ltd. was a truly fun experience. Not only do we love working with the Acres team, we also got the chance to capture b-roll on a live construction site! There's so much going on on-site that makes for great b-roll, AND we were able to get some really nice aerials of a building being constructed by Acres in Merritt (we all know I love the chance to fly my drone!).

Everyone we spoke to seemed to really love working for this company, and we think it really shows in the video. If this doesn't make you want to work for Acres, I don't know what will!

Morelli-Chertkow Lawyers | Promotional Video

Not only did we have the pleasure of collaborating with Fresh Inc. on this promo video for Morelli Chertkow LLP - it was also such a pleasure to work with the lawyers and staff at Morelli. You can tell by talking to anyone who is part of this firm, that they have so much vested interest and passion for this company and the areas of law they specialize in.

This was my first time creating a series of videos for a law firm and I learned so much about the industry, which is truly what I love about my job! I am constantly working with new businesses and getting to know the ins and outs of different industries, which is the exact reason I became a videographer.

Marcy Garcia | RIH Grateful Patient

"Something didn't quite seem right, and I ended up at the hospital in Merritt at 32 weeks pregnant. While I was there, my water broke..."

This is the #gratefulpatient story of Marcy Garcia, who's high-risk pregnancy and premature labour brought the RIH Neonatal Team all the way from Kamloops to Merritt and back, in order to ensure the safe delivery of her son Chase. You may also recognize Marcy and baby Chase from the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation 'Together We Rise' campaign video we shared recently.

Thank you to all the staff at Royal Inland Hospital and BC Ambulance Service, who assisted Marcy in bringing baby Chase into this world safely and soundly #healthcareheroes

Russ Hobbs | RIH Grateful Patient

"Ribs 1-8 are broken in 3 places or more, 3-7 are broken in 2 places or more, you've got a punctured lung and a broken sternum - we're going to have to send you over to RIH."

These are some of the injuries that brought Russ Hobbs to the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital. You may recognize Russ in this video, as he also features in the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation 'Together We Rise' campaign video we shared recently. This film dives further into his grateful patient story.

To Nurses Everywhere - National Nursing Week is over, but we see your hard work and dedication to our community all year long, and we appreciate you beyond measure. Thank you for all that you do.

Kamloops Wastewater Treatment Centre

Happy #earthday

The City of Kamloops Wastewater Treatment plant receives enough wastewater to fill 12 Olympic size swimming pools every day. The water is treated and reclaimed in our city’s state of the art facility and used for non-food crop irrigation, golf course irrigation and wildfire suppression.

This video we worked on with the City a few years ago, outlines the whole process from start to finish!

BEHIND THE SCENES | WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROJECT

Behind the scenes from our Wastewater Treatment video project at the City of Kamloops state-of-the-art facility. This facility ensures wastewater is recycled and reused effectively, and since this Thursday is Earth Day, we thought these shots were rather fitting.

CIVIC OPERATIONS IN ACTION | CITY OF KAMLOOPS

We are so excited to share this Civic Operations ‘day in the life’ video we worked on recently with the City of Kamloops.  Many of us aren’t aware of half the work that goes on behind the scenes to run this great city we live in, but let me tell you it’s absolutely fascinating!  This project gave me the opportunity to both capture and learn all about the incredible work these men and women do on a daily basis.  I really hope you’ll enjoy watching this as much as I did creating it.

Trevor's Story

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and in light of this we thought it would be appropriate to share a film we worked on earlier this year with the Housing Industry Association Charitable Foundation in Australia. A huge thank you to Trevor Renison for sharing his very personal experience and story with us.

In Australia, construction workers are twice as likely to commit suicide than people in other industries, and industry apprentices are two and a half times more likely to commit suicide than other young people their age. These alarming statistics are one of the reasons the HIACF reached out to us, in the hope of creating a film with a story and a message loud enough that it would be heard by the people who are most at risk.

The film was screened at both the National Apprenticeship Awards and also the National Housing Awards, and is now shown to every single Australian apprentice during their training. It is my hope that this film will shed some light on the topic of suicide, and the signs to not only look out for but act on, if you happen to recognize them in friends, family or colleagues who may be suffering in silence.

SD73 ASSAI PROGRAMS

As someone who regularly participated in after school activities as a child, working on this project with SD73 was really special for me. We got to meet some amazing kids, and the incredible instructors who are not only teaching them skills in sports and the arts, but life skills that will carry through with them forever. Thank you to Alex Inglis, for allowing us the opportunity to work on this video with the school district. We hope this video will inspire the inner child in everyone!
