Climate Change

Climate Change and Community-Driven Climate Action Through in Manitoba, Minnesota and Northwestern Ontario
We tackle climate change through creative resilience, arts-based climate entrepreneurship, and community-led adaptation. Rooted in Northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, and Minnesota, our programs blend arts-based climate action, sustainable agriculture, and Indigenous knowledge to build local capacity and drive innovation.
Through projects like Our People, Our Climate and Towards a Framework for Northern Food Systems Innovation, we empower youth and communities to respond to climate impacts with storytelling, regenerative farming, and climate-smart solutions. Fusing culture, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, we’re creating bold, place-based strategies for a more resilient future.

Year two of our arts incubator land lab's food security program is in full swing! We've grown dozens of beautiful apple pippins from seed since February, excited to expand our sustainable agriculture project. But moving them outdoors brought an unexpected challenge: environmental shock! Seeing those dried, stressed leaves was a learning moment. We're now focused on helping them recover through careful "hardening off" – gradually reintroducing them to the outdoor environment. This means starting in a sheltered spot, slowly increasing their exposure to sun and wind, and ensuring consistent, proper watering.

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.
