Meeting with the Manitoba Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Program

This summer our team met with representatives from the Government of Manitoba and Manitoba Agriculture’s Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Program.

The Sustainable CAP is a five-year, $3.5-billion investment by Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments that supports Canada’s agri-food and agri-products sectors. This includes $1 billion in federal programs and activities and a $2.5 billion commitment that is cost-shared 60 per cent federally and 40 per cent provincially-territorially for programs that are designed and delivered by provinces and territories.

We’re very thankful to Wendy Carnegie and Mervin Traverse for taking the time to meet with us, and introduce us to the suite of programs that are available.

Next month, there will be some new programs for the Indigenous Agriculture and Relationship Development program. We hope you will check them out as there are some really great program opportunities for communities, businesses and organizations.

Art Borups Corners

Nestled in the heart of Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario, Art Borups Corners is a dynamic participatory arts collective and living lab, where innovation and creativity thrive. The program was founded in 2014, with an arts incubator established in 2021 and 2022 with funding and support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse. Today, working with students and faculty from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, we fuse traditional and participatory media arts with artificial intelligence, music, storytelling and community-driven, land-based artist residencies to cultivate new voices and bold ideas. Whether through collaborative projects or immersive experiences, our small but vibrant community supports creators to explore, experiment, and connect. Join us at the intersection of artistry, technology, culture and community—where every moment is a new opportunity to create.
