APRIL 2026
We’ve Been Nominated! 🏆 + Security Tips, Team News & Mores
Spring is a busy season at Teleco, and this edition is packed with updates. We’re excited to share a Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence nomination, welcome three new team members, and celebrate 5 and 13-year anniversaries with two valued colleagues.
We’re also diving into how modern security cameras go beyond recording, sharing a cybersecurity travel checklist, and highlighting our continued Axis Gold Partner status — plus a meaningful moment giving back to the Thunder Bay community.
Let’s get into it.
Nomination - Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence awards 2026
Being recognized alongside so many respected local businesses mean a lot to us.
Congratulations to all the nominees — we’re proud to be in such great company. And thank you to our clients, partners, and team for being part of the journey.

Gold Partner with Axis Communications
Teleco is proud to continue as your local Axis Gold Partner—and that matters for one reason: better outcomes for our clients. ⭐️
This level of partnership means deeper training, advanced certifications, and priority support—so we can design and deliver security solutions that perform when it counts.
What sets Teleco apart is how we apply that expertise. We don’t just install technology—we take the time to understand each environment, design with intention, and support our clients long after deployment.
From smarter system design to long-term reliability, we’ve invested in doing things the right way.
Traveling for Work? Don’t Overlook These Cybersecurity Essentials
Traveling for work comes with added cybersecurity risks—but the right preparation makes all the difference.
We’ve created a practical, easy-to-follow checklist to help your team stay secure before, during, and after travel. From protecting devices and avoiding public Wi-Fi risks to post-trip security checks, it covers the essential steps every organization should have in place.
Download the checklist and make sure your employees are protected—wherever work takes them.

🎉Happy Anniversary, David and Chris!
Happy 5 Years, Chris!
Chris Cannon – IT Engineer 5 years
As a Senior IT Engineer, Chris brings more than technical expertise—he brings a genuine passion for solving problems, supporting clients, and making technology easier to use every day. He’s also known across the team as someone who’s always ready to step in, collaborate, and help wherever needed.
Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time on his motorcycle with his wife and making the most of his downtime.
Chris, thank you for the dedication, positivity, and support you’ve brought over the past five years.
Happy 13 Years, David!
David Miedema – Account Manager 13 years
David’s career journey reflects the value of hands-on experience. Starting as a technician, he built a strong technical foundation that now supports his role as an Account Manager. That background allows him to understand client environments in a meaningful way and provide confident guidance—especially when it comes to IT and cybersecurity.
He’s a trusted partner to his clients, known for offering not just solutions, but insight and long-term support.
Outside of work, David stays busy with his three daughters, and in the summer, you’ll often find him camping or out on the water enjoying time on his boat.
David, thank you for the past 13 years. Your experience and commitment continue to make a meaningful impact on both our clients and our team.
