It’s been an exceptionally busy and exciting season at Regina International Airport (YQR) as our team continues to push forward on one of the largest digital display overhauls we’ve taken on in recent years. The airport is officially making the move from Omnivex to the Simpleway platform – an upgrade that brings a fresh, modernized experience for passengers and a far more streamlined system for airport operations.
What makes this project truly special isn’t just the technology itself, but the innovation and teamwork happening behind the scenes. Every single display mount for this rollout has been custom-designed and 3D-printed in-house by the YQR IT team. This approach has allowed us to perfect fit, improve cable management, and speed up deployment, all while showing what’s possible when creativity meets technical expertise.
Leading the charge on the FIDS transition is Jasmine Brar, whose exceptional leadership, attention to detail, and relentless drive have kept the project moving forward with precision. Jasmine has been coordinating device prep, programming, and field deployment, all while ensuring the new system aligns perfectly with airport operations and passenger-flow needs. Her commitment has set the tone for the entire upgrade, and the results are already shining through.
This fall, we were also thrilled to welcome Marjan Ripa, who joined the team on September 10th as a part-time Level 1 Technician. Marjan has hit the ground running from day one and is already making a tremendous impact, not just on the FIDS project, but across the airport. She has taken on Power Apps development to support the RAA, building tools and forms that are improving efficiency, tightening workflows, and giving departments smarter ways to operate. Her enthusiasm and fresh perspective have been a fantastic addition to the team.
Between a major digital signage overhaul, in-house engineering creativity, and the expansion of our team, it’s been a dynamic period of growth and momentum at YQR. We’re proud of the work being done, the people making it happen, and the innovation that continues to take flight.
