Founded as a partnership between Athabasca Basin Development and Peter Ballantyne Group of Companies, Optek Solutions was created to enhance IT infrastructure and digital connectivity for northern and remote communities. In June 2022, Kitsaki Management acquired a 31.6% ownership stake, further strengthening its investment in technology-driven business solutions. That same year, Optek also acquired 100% of PA Photocopier, integrating technology hardware, printing, and IT support services into its operations.
Optek Solutions is deeply committed to workforce development, particularly in the IT sector. Through the Spark Mentorship Program, developed in collaboration with Athabasca communities and the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC), Optek provides career training and guidance for Indigenous individuals interested in IT. In 2023:
✔ Five individuals were selected for the program
✔ Participants received remote coursework and one-on-one mentorship from an Optek team member
By combining innovative IT solutions with training and community support, Optek Solutions is helping businesses succeed while creating new opportunities in the technology sector.
