Boardwide Media is hiring

We are building the crew that films the Tri-Cities.

One flagship feature a week, plus Shorts and a Saturday in the community. One videographer/editor, one show host — and a share of what we build for the ones who stay.

Video introduction coming soon

A short intro about these roles is on the way.

The work

The videos are the marketing.

Not ads about the Tri-Cities — the thing itself. Specific enough to fascinate one group of people, generous enough to be worth their time, distinctive enough that they send it to somebody. Remarkable means worth making a remark about. It has nothing to do with budget.

If somebody finishes one of our videos, they should be thinking:

“I had no idea that was here.”“We should try this.”“You need to meet this person.”“I finally understand.”“Let’s go this weekend.”“I want to be part of the next one.”

1Explanatory“Now I understand”

2Emotional“This matters to me”

3Experiential“I want to try that”

4Discovery“I didn’t know this was here”

5Behind the scenes“Show me how it works”

6Participation“I want to join in”

7Recognition“Someone should celebrate this”

8Transformation“Look what changed”

9Useful local“I need to save this”

Positive storytelling

Curiosity, discovery, effort, change. Businesses show up through craft, people, and process — never an ad dressed as content. A Perk can invite action at the end; the story earns the interest first.

Not this

Promo interviews and benefit lists
Empty “hidden gem” claims
Forced hype and manufactured controversy
Outrage, humiliation, or hardship as entertainment
Anything with no real Tri-Cities connection

One audience at a time

Every episode serves a specific group first — families, food, outdoors, seniors, athletes, newcomers. Content for everyone reaches no one.

Two openings

Pick the seat that is yours.

Both are contract to start, both have a path to something permanent, and both come with real say over how a story gets told.

Videographer / Editor

The one who turns field days into episodes people finish.

$35 / hour32–40 hrs / weekFull-time contract

You shoot it, you cut it, you ship it. One 6–8 minute flagship a week, Shorts from the same story, and a Friday Creator Day that finds the next one.

What to expect

Monday through Friday is the production week: edit, polish, Wednesday release, Thursday feature shoot, Friday Creator Day. Finished features are 6–8 minutes. Saturday is normally off except for major events.

What you do

Monday: shape the 6–8 minute feature rough cut from the week’s footage
Tuesday: finish and polish — pacing, graphics, titles, music, audio, colour, captions and QC
Wednesday: package Shorts, thumbnails and the upload, then publish the new feature
Thursday: film the planned feature — interviews, host segments, B-roll and establishing shots
Friday Creator Day: explore, experiment, and capture native Shorts, mini-features and future story leads
Upload every shoot to the shared Google Drive the same day

What you bring

Your own camera, lens, audio, and lighting kit
AI-assisted editing in your workflow — this one is not negotiable
Efficiency over polish: we are making great YouTube, not Hollywood
A clear criminal record check

What we bring

Google AI Ultra access (Omni) and a PowerDirector-class suite on us
Company microphones of your choosing, within reason
Full content plan and scheduling

Show Host

The face people trust enough to follow into a stranger’s kitchen.

$30 / hour24 hrs / week · Thu–SatPart-time contract, growing

Not someone who reads lines into a camera. The host is a recognizable local personality who helps Tri-Cities Board discover stories, meet residents, and make local media feel alive. Hours grow with the project, and if you can edit, they grow faster.

What to expect

About 24 hours a week across Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Wednesday can become a fourth paid day as the role grows. Planned feature shoots are often 3–4 hours on site, with travel time allotted separately.

What you do

Thursday: host the planned 6–8 minute feature — interviews, segments, demonstrations and participation
Friday Creator Day: explore the Tri-Cities with the producer, meet people, and make spontaneous community content
Saturday: be the face of Tri-Cities Board at rec centres, sports, markets, festivals and events
As the role grows, Wednesday can become a fourth paid day for research, guest outreach and next-week prep
Make the guest the star — you are the reason people stay, not the subject

What you bring

Curious — notices things other people walk past
Comfortable with residents, business owners, athletes, families and community groups
Reliable on the core host days: Thursday, Friday and Saturday
A clear criminal record check

What we bring

Mentorship from working professional consultants
Pro-level training opportunities as the channel grows
More hours on request as the project scales, and more again if you learn to edit
Extra hours by arrangement with the Community Outreach Director or CEO — ask when you want more, or we may ask you when we need coverage and you have time

How this starts

One month guaranteed. Three good ones earns the offer.

No pretending this is something it is not. You start on contract, we both find out fast whether this works, and the runway gets longer the better the work gets.

1Month 1
Guaranteed month
Your first month is guaranteed. We find the rhythm together and figure out what the channel sounds like.
2Months 2–3
Month by month
Renewed a month at a time on one condition: marketable content, delivered on schedule.
3After month 3
Official offer
Three consecutive months of marketable content earns a real job offer conversation.
4Long term
Revenue share
Committed, long-term crew become candidates for revenue sharing once the channel earns enough to pay out. Earned over months, never a signing bonus.

Straight up: while you are under contract, either of us can walk away at any time, for any reason, and we do not have to give one. That cuts both ways, and it is why the first month matters.

The weekly rhythm

Four production days. One Creator Day. Saturday in the community.

Four structured production days create consistency. One free-range Creator Day creates discovery. The host then carries that energy into the community on Saturdays, helping Tri-Cities Board become visible, familiar and genuinely local.

Host + creator + community

What makes the host role different.

The host is not simply someone who reads lines into a camera. The goal is a recognizable local personality who helps Tri-Cities Board discover stories, meet residents, participate in the community and make local media feel alive.

Thursday

Tell the Story

Planned feature production. Interviews, host segments, demonstrations, participation and polished on-camera storytelling.

Friday

Go Discover

Free-range creative day. Follow interesting people, places, activities and ideas. Experiment and find tomorrow’s stories.

Saturday

Meet the Community

Promotion and outreach where people are actually gathering — rec centres, sports, markets, festivals and events.

Structured freedom

Friday Creator Day

A common Friday may be roughly half a day in the field and half a day editing, but the schedule should flex when the story deserves it. The producer and host are encouraged to try things that would never fit inside a rigid assignment list.

Aim for 2–3 strong native Shorts when the day suits fast-turnaround content.
One excellent 60–120 second mini-feature can be more valuable than several rushed clips.
Useful output can also include B-roll, photographs, interviews, local contacts or a story lead for a future flagship feature.
If something exceptional happens, follow it. Do not abandon a great story simply to satisfy a fixed clip quota.
Build a reusable visual library of neighbourhoods, parks, businesses, sports, weather, events, people and everyday life across the Tri-Cities.

Creative rule

Structured enough to publish. Flexible enough to discover. Creator Day should feel like permission to experiment — not a disguised production quota.

Community presence

Saturday: promotion that creates stories

Saturday gives the host a different kind of job: becoming the face of Tri-Cities Board in the places where local families and residents are already gathering. Promotion, sign-ups and conversations can happen at the same time as story discovery.

Recreation centres and sports facilities
Community festivals, markets and public events
Youth sports, tryouts and seasonal programs
Local businesses and community organizations
Quick interviews and spontaneous Shorts when opportunities appear

Weekly output

What a strong week can produce.

Short-form publishing can run on its own schedule. Rather than dumping every Short at once, the content bank can be scheduled throughout the week — for example, up to two Shorts per day — so Tri-Cities Board remains active between major Wednesday releases.

Recruitment fit

The kind of person this schedule is designed for.

Build a media team that residents recognize, enjoy watching and want to interact with — while giving talented creative people room to make work they are proud of.

Curious

Notices things other people walk past.

Comfortable with people

Can talk with residents, business owners, athletes, families and community groups.

Creative

Wants permission to experiment rather than reproduce the same format every week.

Reliable

Understands that creative freedom works because the core weekly production schedule is still delivered.

Community-minded

Genuinely interested in what is happening in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody.

Adaptable

Equally comfortable with a polished planned interview, a spontaneous street conversation or helping at a busy Saturday event.

The long game

Stay, and you share in what it earns.

This is an independent local platform, not a franchise. The people who commit to the trade, to the business, and to sharing in this community are the people we want beside us long-term — and that means revenue sharing on the table.

It is earned over months of good work, not handed out at signing, and it depends on the channel actually earning: a library deep enough and an audience large enough for YouTube to pay out. That is the honest version. It is also the whole reason we are hiring a crew instead of renting a videographer.

Equity is a separate conversation. An ownership stake goes with promotion to a director-level role in the company — it is not something either crew role earns by putting in months, and we would rather say that plainly now than have you hear it in a year.

Hosts, read this part

About 24 hours a week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday — tell the story, go discover, meet the community. You get mentorship from working professional consultants, pro-level training as we grow, and more hours whenever you ask for them. Wednesday can grow in as a fourth paid day. Learn to edit and hours come faster.

Who owns what

Clear rights, no surprises.

Video we pay for is ours

Crewed episodes are Tri-Cities Board property. Share links and embeds anywhere you like — masters are not re-uploaded to other channels.

Articles we pay for are ours

Paid written stories belong to Tri-Cities Board. Share our links; full pieces are not republished elsewhere as your own.

Business video stays theirs

Video a business submits remains their own to post wherever they want, as long as it is not edited in a way that damages us, our partners, or our people.

Want clips for a private portfolio or reel? Ask. The answer is usually yes.

Contractor policies

Everything you agree to, in plain language.

Read these before you apply — you will be asked to accept them on the form, and we hold to them. Nothing here is buried in a contract you see later.

Contract & trial

The position is guaranteed for one month to start.
After that it renews month by month, on one condition: marketable content, delivered.
Three consecutive months of marketable content earns an official job offer conversation.
Either side may end the contract at any time, for any reason. Tri-Cities Board does not have to provide a reason.
You are an independent contractor: you invoice us, and you handle your own taxes and coverage.

Schedule & delivery

Producer week is Monday through Friday: feature edit, polish, Wednesday release, Thursday shoot, Friday Creator Day.
The host’s core days are Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Wednesday can become a fourth paid day as the role grows.
Saturday is a community day for the host. The producer is normally off except for major planned events.
All footage is uploaded to the shared Google Drive the same day as the shoot. This is non-negotiable.
Missing a deadline without prior approval or a medical reason is cause for immediate dismissal.
“I didn’t have time to get to it” is cause for immediate dismissal.

Conduct & safety

The host and the videographer are expected to get along and respect each other. Misconduct is not tolerated.
We are strictly professional with subjects, businesses, organizations, and the public.
Safety violations are cause for immediate dismissal.
Egregious cases may lead to a formal complaint to the RCMP.
No harassment or discrimination of any kind. No intoxication on shoot days. No unsafe driving or filming.

Equipment & company property

The videographer supplies their own camera and field gear.
Tri-Cities Board issues microphones of your choice, as long as they are reasonably priced — we are not buying luxury gear.
Company microphones remain Tri-Cities Board property unless you would rather use your own.
The editor is given access to a Google AI Ultra account (Omni) and a PowerDirector-class editing suite.
All company property is returned within 48 hours of the contract ending, or the replacement cost of new equipment is deducted from the final payout.
Lost equipment is paid for by the crew unless management decides otherwise.
Honest equipment failure and accidental damage are excusable. Things happen, and you will not be billed for that.
Company accounts and software licences are for Tri-Cities Board work only.

Community participation

Crew hold a paid Tri-Cities Board Perks supporter membership for the length of the contract. We use what we promote.
Take part in the Marketplace and the Forum: post, reply, share episodes, and help the place feel lived in.
Report bugs and rough edges you run into, and help us work them out.
This is a short-term ask by design. Once there are enough people that the project carries itself, participation is just normal use.

Content rights & sharing

Video that Tri-Cities Board pays for and crews is Tri-Cities Board property. Share links and embeds freely.
Do not re-upload our masters to your own channel or any third-party channel.
Written articles that Tri-Cities Board pays for are Tri-Cities Board property. Share our links; do not republish full pieces as your own.
Video submitted by a business stays theirs. They may share and post it wherever they like, as long as they do not edit it in a way that damages the reputation or credibility of Tri-Cities Board, its partners, employees, contractors, or affiliated organizations.
Want clips in a private portfolio or reel? Ask first. The answer is usually yes.
Consent, releases, and the privacy of the people we film are part of the job.

Criminal record check

Every applicant provides proof of a clear criminal record check before onboarding.
The work puts you around youth, seniors, and community organizations, so this is not optional.
Bring the check, or the receipt for it, to the interview day.

Pay & revenue sharing

Videographer / Editor: $35 per hour, 32–40 hours per week, Monday through Friday.
Show Host: $30 per hour, 24 hours per week to start on Thursday + Friday + Saturday. Wednesday can grow in as a fourth paid day. Editing skill unlocks more hours.
Invoices are submitted on the agreed cycle.
Committed, long-term crew are candidates for revenue sharing. That is earned over months, and it depends on the channel earning enough to pay out.
Equity is not part of either crew role. An ownership stake goes with promotion to a director-level role.

Not a camera person? We pay writers too.

We are still building out our roster of paid contributors for written stories — business features, org highlights, day trips, local news. Same standard, same positive lens, different tool.
