Open IT Office Hours

The Malahat Nation IST Department is available during this time for Members and Staff to drop in with questions, ideas, and conversations about technology and cybersecurity. These office hours are meant for the kinds of things that are not always urgent enough for a support ticket, but are still worth talking through. Maybe you are wondering whether something can be automated, want help finding the right app or tool, or want to better understand how our current systems work. Maybe you have questions about password safety, suspicious emails, device security, safe file sharing, or how to protect Nation information in day-to-day work. You are also welcome to stop by for regular IT help. No appointment needed.
