Thanks to support from an Ontario Trillium Foundation Capital Grant, the Local Services Board of Melgund is funding major upgrades to the Dyment Recreation Hall kitchen and community food program. The grant enables the community to modernize its facilities with energy-efficient plumbing, accessible sinks, and expanded community garden. These targeted infrastructure improvements ensure food safety standards are met, expanding year-round capacity for workshops, cultural events, and community recreation programming in Melgund. We’re proud to support this program.

Frost tried to crash the party, but our green pumpkin is already showing its true colors. A warm spot by the window and a little patience will bring this last garden harvest across the finish line.

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.
