Binding the Digital Book was a summer project exploring the intersection of storytelling, design, and digital craft. The goal was to help young artists and writers not only create stories, but learn how to shape them into professional-quality e-books — works that are as durable, accessible, and intentional as any printed publication. While creative writing formed the foundation, this phase focused on digital bookmaking as an art form — understanding how structure, typography, and accessibility come together to turn raw manuscripts into cohesive, distributable digital collections. The process became an interdisciplinary learning space where narrative met interface design, and coding met creative publishing.

This week, our storytelling club took an important step in ensuring that our work will be preserved for generations to come. We submitted our first Digital Legal Deposit to Library and Archives Canada (LAC). The submission included the EPUB edition of our book Where Dignity Grows: Stories of Self, Others, Nature, and Community. While the process itself is straightforward—uploading the digital file along with basic publisher information—it carries great meaning. By depositing our publication, we are contributing to Canada’s national collection and making sure that our voices are part of the country’s permanent cultural record.

Where Dignity Grows is a collection of short stories about dignity and kindness To mark two decades of promoting dignity and kindness, youth, artists and community volunteers from Art Borups Corners and Ottawa-based Global Dignity Canada launched a heartwarming community arts project. The groups, with funding from the Ontario Arts Council Multi and Inter-Arts Projects program, worked with youth and artists to explore introductory storytelling as part of their summer program, and decided to publish a collection of 20 short stories.

Nuclear Waste Management

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.

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.
