Borups Corners

Our Northwestern Ontario Arts Incubator, located in Melgund Township, is a vibrant hub for creativity and community connection, supporting the communities of Dyment and Borups Corners while frequently partnering with nearby towns like Dryden and Ignace. This innovative program empowers local artists, youth, and community members to engage in participatory and media arts, including music, climate change adaptation, storytelling, Indigenous art, and hands-on workshops. Designed to inspire and nurture creativity, the incubator offers special events, exhibitions, and activities for all ages, creating a welcoming space for cultural expression and collaboration. With a focus on celebrating the rich history and diverse talents of Northwestern Ontario, our incubator connects people through the power of art, storytelling, and shared experiences. Since May 2024 our programs have been supported by the OpenAI Researcher Access Program. Join us in transforming the region into a thriving arts and culture destination, where every creative voice is heard, and every community shines!

The Dyment Recreation Hall has space for community activities and events thanks to support from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization.

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!
