Creative Entrepreneurship

Our Creative and Climate Entrepreneurship activities are empowering communities to lead the way in sustainable innovation by merging artistic creativity, music and climate action. From incubating participatory arts that inspire environmental awareness to supporting youth-led initiatives in Winnipeg, Borups Corners, and Minneapolis, we’re creating opportunities to tackle the climate crisis through ingenuity and collaboration. Join us in advancing a sustainable future where art, entrepreneurship, and climate action come together to spark meaningful transformation across Canada and beyond.

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!
