Community Lens

Community Lens focuses on grounded, place-based storytelling and reflective reporting from within our communities. It highlights local voices, cultural perspectives, grassroots initiatives, news and articles that capture how people experience and interpret the world around them. Featuring everything from community events and artistic practices to environmental observations and social change, this section offers an alternative to mainstream coverage by centering lived experience, context, and care. It serves as a living archive of evolving community knowledge—where stories are shaped by the people closest to them, and meaning emerges through connection to place, practice, and collective memory.

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!
