Photos and Short Stories

Through photos and personal narratives, we aim to capture everything from community events and local traditions to the quiet, everyday experiences that make our corner of Northwestern Ontario special. It’s a place to celebrate our shared heritage, connect with neighbors, and ensure the spirit of Dyment and Borups Corners continues to thrive for generations to come.

Terri, Sara and Karen have been hard at work in the lower level of the Dyment Recreation Hall rejuvenating the new business centre and participatory arts and research space.

This week's latest short story, "The Canoe Tip," penned by an anonymous author, provides a thoughtful reflection on our bond with the natural world. This insightful piece focuses on three cousins whose fishing expedition into the quiet waters of Northwestern Ontario takes an unexpected turn, guiding them towards a deeper understanding of the dignity inherent in nature itself.

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.
