Mother Tongue Publishing is a small independent Canadian publishing company located on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, run by Mona Fertig and Peter Haase. Mother Tongue publishes books of B.C. fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction, and the series, The Unheralded Artists of BC, dedicated to recognizing forgotten 20th century B.C. artists (1900s-1960s). Mother Tongue started as a small international literary periodical. From 1994 until around 2008, Mother Tongue Press published letterpress limited edition books and broadsides of poetry by Stephanie Bolster, Lorna Crozier, Kate Braid, Cathy Ford, Maxine Gadd, Shirley Graham, Penn Kemp, Robert Kroetsch, Sylvia Legris, Peter Levitt, Sandi Frances Duncan, Patricia Young, Daphne Marlatt, Susan McCaslin, P.K. Page, Murray Reiss, Nadine Shelly, Peter Such and Phyllis Webb. The publications employed handmade endpaper, beautiful cover stock, recycled paper, embossing, letterpress printing, handsewing, non-adhesive binding, and tipped in photographs of paintings. Mother Tongue Press also held book art, letter press and writing workshops, and organized book launches and readings. In 2008, Mother Tongue Press expanded and entered trade publishing as Mother Tongue Publishing.

Moving Pictures presented an annual travelling program of Canadian films in the genres of drama, documentary, animation and experimental, in diverse lengths (features, mid-length and shorts), and in the formats of 35 mm, beta SP and DVD. The rationale of the festival was to disseminate work by Canadian artists and to develop an appreciation of Canadian cinema as an art form and cultural product. Organizers of the festival also hosted workshops, seminars and filmmaker appearances. The organization was based in Vancouver, B.C. The festival travelled to smaller communities across British Columbia.
