Arts & Creative Leadership

Here, we cultivate arts and creative leadership through participatory, arts-based community initiatives. We offer news, features and stories on developing essential skills such as collaboration, innovative thinking, and effective communication, empowering artists and communities to lead with creativity and purpose. Through hands-on training, mentorship, and community engagement, we provide opportunities to build confidence, foster resilience, and drive social impact. Connecting artistic practices with leadership development, we prepare individuals to inspire change and strengthen their communities through the transformative power of the arts.

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!
