This story explores the universal value of 'Being innovative and resourceful'. In the Inuktitut language, this concept is known as 'Qanuqtuurniq'. This value means finding clever, practical ways to solve problems, especially when facing difficulties or when standard tools and methods are not available. It involves looking at what you have, thinking creatively, and adapting to new situations to achieve a goal. It is about using your mind and available materials to make things work.

A powerful new short story, "The Community's New Stories" by Jamie Bell and published by the Art Borups Corners Storytelling Club, offers a compelling look at resilience and the enduring spirit of community in the face of adversity. The narrative centres on a small, close-knit community in Northwestern Ontario or Manitoba, grappling with the aftermath of a devastating flood that submerges their beloved community hall library.

ART BORUPS CORNERS SOCIETY

Art Borups Corners is a non-profit arts incubator based in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario. We bring artists, youth, and local residents together through hands-on creative projects, workshops, and storytelling rooted in everyday life in the North. Our focus is on making space for people to try things, share skills, and build confidence through art that grows out of where they live.


We’re also a place for testing ideas and working across different ways of making — from land-based practice to digital work and everything in between. Much of what we do happens through partnerships and shared projects, connecting local creative work with wider conversations while keeping things grounded, practical, and community-led.
