Melgund Township is home to two of Ontario’s smallest rural communities, Borups Corners and Dyment, each rooted in a long history of northern settlement and community life. Despite their size, both communities continue to stay active through local recreation, culture, and shared public spaces. Travellers passing through Northwestern Ontario are welcomed at the historic Dyment Community Hall, built in 1929, which remains a central gathering place and a familiar stop for those travelling across Canada on Highway 17.

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.
