Sustainable Agriculture

Rooted in the principles of sustainable agriculture, our Northwestern Ontario arts-driven living lab is a creative, community-based hub for tackling food insecurity through regenerative small-scale farming, intergenerational knowledge transmission, and climate resilience. Operating across key regions—including Winnipeg, Manitoba, Minnesota, and Northwestern Ontario—our living lab integrates art, ecology, and innovation to strengthen local food systems and inspire action. Combining traditional practices, permaculture, and hands-on education with artistic collaboration, we work to empower communities to co-create sustainable, community-led food solutions that respond to the impacts of climate change, and the need for youth-led initiatives, participatory design, and cross-border partnerships.

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 today!
