Get Involved!

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is inviting residents and land users in the area of Canada's proposed Deep Geological Repository for used nuclear fuel to participate in a Diet and Land-Use Survey. The information collected will help inform local perspectives as the project moves through the federal regulatory process.

The survey can be completed online or through an in-person interview at the Ignace Learn More Centre. It is open until September 7, 2026, and participants will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win one of twenty C$125 gift cards redeemable at local businesses.
Join Art Borups Corners on July 18, 2026 at the Dyment Recreation Hall for an evening of food, music, creativity, and community connection. Enjoy a community BBQ, connect with neighbours, and help imagine the future of local parks and greenspaces through drawing, mapping, storytelling, and conversation. Part of the national Everyone Outdoors Together initiative led by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA).

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.
