At Pathwise Solutions, we help good organizations build their capacity to teach, reach, and serve.
Pathwise Solutions Inc. is a majority Métis-owned Canadian company that creates custom eLearning, websites, learning platforms, and accessible digital experiences for organizations doing meaningful work.
We work with government, Indigenous organizations, nonprofits, education groups, public-sector bodies, and purpose-driven businesses. Our clients usually come to us with something important to share:
a training need, a complex topic, a public education goal, a community program, a new system, or a service that needs to reach more people.
Often, the real goal is change. A course may need to help people work differently. A website may need to make services easier to find. A learning platform may need to support a new program, a new process, or a new way of reaching a community.
Our job is to help make that change easier to understand, easier to access, and easier to act on.
For more than 35 years, we have helped organizations use technology to extend their reach and build their capacity. The tools have changed many times. The purpose has stayed the same: helping people learn, connect, and move forward.
Pathwise is a team of instructional designers, project managers, quality assurance and accessibility specialists, LMS specialists, web developers, programmers, eLearning developers, illustrators, graphic designers, writers, and educators.
That mix matters. A successful learning or web project needs more than one kind of expertise. It needs people who can understand the content, shape the learning, design the experience, build the system, test the details, and support the work after launch.
Some projects begin with a course. Others begin with a website, an LMS, a training manual, a folder of source documents, or a conversation about what an organization needs people to understand or do differently.
Pathwise designs and builds digital tools that help organizations teach, communicate, and serve.
Our work includes:
- Custom eLearning courses
- Blended and instructor-led training materials
- Instructional design and curriculum planning
- Learning Management Systems
- WordPress and custom websites
- Interactive video, animation, illustration, and narration
- Accessibility audits and remediation
- Course modernization, including Flash-to-HTML5 conversion
- Secure Canadian hosting and technical support
We are especially comfortable with complex content. Policy, compliance, systems training, diversity and inclusion, accessibility, public education, Indigenous initiatives, and sensitive subject matter all require care. We know how to shape that kind of material into learning that people can follow and use.
We care about making digital experiences that are well built, accessible, and useful. We care about the details because details affect whether people can find information, complete a course, understand a process, or feel respected by the experience.
Accessibility is part of the work from the beginning. Inclusion is not a checkbox at the end. We want the things we create to work for real people in real situations.
Pathwise is majority Métis-owned, and our team works from values that are deeply connected to Indigenous ways of thinking: relationship, responsibility, reciprocity, respect, and care for the communities affected by the work. Not every member of our team is Indigenous, and we do not present Indigenous identity as a marketing angle. Instead, we try to let those values shape how we listen, how we collaborate, and how we carry the knowledge clients trust us with.
Kristy also supports Indigenous authors by providing consulting services for Medicine Wheel Publishing. PathWise Solutions collaborated with Phyllis Webstad and other Indigenous authors, and Medicine Wheel Publishing to develop curricula to accompany videos to facilitate sharing of Indigenous resources with educators. Kristy created curricula for Indigenous resources, including the game The Truth in Truth and Reconciliation and a documentary done by Royal Roads University about the Beacon Hill Story Pole and Indigenous Veterans. She recently co-authored the book ˆDecolonization and Me: Conversations about Healing a Nation and Ourselves with Phyllis Webstad, one of the founders of Orange Shirt Day. Her focus in everything she does is to recognise the value of diverse perspectives and the importance of consultation in creating unity.
Clients work with Pathwise because they need a partner who can handle both the learning and the technology.
They need someone who can understand the content, design the experience, build the system, and support it after launch. They need people who can work with subject matter experts, artists, community partners, executives, learners, and technical teams.
They also need a team that understands that the finished product is not the point by itself. The point is what the finished product helps make possible: clearer communication, better access, stronger training, more confident staff, better public education, or meaningful change inside and outside the organization.
Pathwise is small enough to care and experienced enough to deliver.
That is where we do our best work.
