=== TELUS originals ===

'''TELUS originals''' according to TELUS supports the production of social purpose documentaries features and series by mid-career independent filmmakers in B.C. and Alberta. They contribute funds to local production in accordance with the same CRTC conditions of license, created seemingly as an off-shoot of STORYHIVE. This means that TELUS originals films are funded from the same community access pool, an allotment that allows them to commission local producers to produce content that TELUS' supports. This is a production fund, that does not acquire finished films. All their programming is distributed through TELUS Optik TV.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TELUS Local Content - TELUS originals |url=https://www.telus.com/en/localcontent/telusoriginals/producer-guidelines |access-date=2024-03-25 |website=TELUS |language=en}}</ref>
