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. Creative Business in the North: Youth Arts and Climate Entrepreneurship

What does it mean to be a person of dignity? How do we build a kinder, more compassionate world? This collection of 20 heartwarming and engaging stories, created by young authors, is a thoughtful exploration of these big ideas. From a compassionate squirrel who learns to share his winter stash to a young girl who discovers the power of helping others, these tales offer simple yet profound lessons about the importance of kindness, respect, and community. The book was written for fun as part of a youth literacy program, and the authors hope you enjoy these stories. Inspired by the five guiding principles of Global Dignity Canada, these stories remind us that dignity isn't just an abstract concept; it is an action we can choose to take every day. It's a perfect read for families, classrooms, and anyone who believes in the power of a single good choice to change the world.

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!
