The sky turned shades of pink, violet and soft orange as the sun disappeared behind the trees during Art Borups Corners' October 24 pit firing. Even with plenty to keep them busy, the team had a spectacular view overhead. Northern autumn has a way of making these little moments feel especially precious, particularly when daylight seems to disappear a little earlier every evening.

A university campus, a few garden planters, and plenty of inspiration for our next visit! We enjoyed seeing how Athabasca University brings a little nature into its shared spaces. Our living lab work often centres on placemaking, community gardens, and food security, so it's always interesting to see how other places make room for greenery and community life. Thanks, Athabasca University, for a wonderful visit!

Online communities can give people a place to speak freely, find others with shared experiences and build friendships beyond geography. For people who feel isolated in their immediate surroundings, that access can make a meaningful difference. The question is not whether online friendships are real, but how we create relationships that remain supportive when life extends beyond the screen.

At this year's Together in Research conference hosted by Athabasca University, Elyssa is highlighting how Cognified Succession Planning transforms institutional knowledge transfer. The framework maps dynamic team relationships, responsibilities, and learning needs through visual, digitally supported interventions. By aligning instructional design with human-centered governance, this method prevents knowledge loss, reduces employee burnout, and secures continuity across complex systems.

No paintbrush needed for this one. The colours shift from leaf to leaf, with bright edges, darker veins and unexpected combinations that look almost painted. It's a good reminder to slow down and notice what's growing around us.

In Music

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out!
