A Great Story in Anyone’s Language. Every Winter, the shipping of iron ore out of Voisey’s Bay involves ice-breakers and transport ships cutting through the ice. This is potentially disruptive to age-old routes that the local population have used for hundreds of years to cross the ice, nowadays often crossing on fast snowmobiles. Working with the local population, VBNC drops bridges behind the ships in the best locations, to ensure that ice-crossings can still be made regularly and safely. The local population needs to know where these bridges will be to assist with their travel plans. That’s where we come in... Colour-NL designs and produces maps, printed on tyvek, using rubber-based inks so as to be fully waterproofed. These maps are distributed in Labrador to provide the best information to help guarantee safe travel on and over the ice. These maps are produced in both the Inuit and the Inuktitut languages. This project for VBNC is just one of many where we work comfortably in multiple languages. We have designed and produced Oceanic brochures in Russian, Government of Canada print ads for the Department of Finance, in Punjabi, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, as well as the usual French and English work for Heritage Canada’s Cultural Capitals marketing communications campaign, Fortis Inc., DFO and NL Hydro. When it comes to getting the message out, you’ll find we speak your language. (Archived: 6/21/2007)

Cultural Capitals of Canada Colour-NL designed and produced the Cultural Capitals of Canada ad campaign for Heritage Canada. The Federal Government of Canada created a national program to recognize and support communities for embracing the arts and staging events that celebrate the richness and diversity of Canadian culture.   This Colour-NL ad campaign encouraged and invited municipalities to apply for a “Cultural Capital” designation. This designation comes with an award of funding to support those special activities within a community that showcase arts and culture unique to that community. Interestingly, St. John’s was chosen as a “Cultural Capital of Canada” for 2006 and provided with monies and resources to enhance some existing festivals and ongoing arts and cultural programs. http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/progs/ccc/index_e.cfm http://www.stjohns.ca/visitors/culturalcap/index.jsp (Archived: 2/8/2007)
