Join us for lunch meetings, workshops and webinars to name a few of our regular events.
Monthly Meetings
SPIA noon hour meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of the month except for July, August and December, with members from Estevan, Regina and Saskatoon participating. The meeting date and agenda is confirmed by email one week prior to the meeting.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, May 28, 2026. Ashore will be giving a presentation on how to get prepress artwork approved 50% faster. Insight on how to use Ashore to automate reminders, centralize feedback, and use digital checklists to eliminate bottlenecks. Key strategies include setting up customizable, automated reminder schedules for stakeholders, using clear version control, and integrating preflight checks to ensure files are print-ready before client review. Free demos and free trials of their products.
Saskatoon printers will meet at noon at Mister Print and Regina printers at PrintWest. If unable to attend in person, contact martin@spia.ca for the Teams login.
CANADA POST
The recent job action by CUPW of halting the delivery of unaddressed flyers, also known as Neighbourhood Mail, seriously impacts the printing industry as well as the businesses that rely on this service. The Government Affairs Committee of the Canadian Printing Industries Association has responded to the Canada Post and CUPW impasse with the attached document. This was released prior to job action announcement by CUPW and the strike on September 25.
