Recreation

Recreation Services are at the heart of building vibrant, healthy, and inclusive communities. Aligned with the Framework for Recreation in Canada, our comprehensive programs and facilities are dedicated to fostering active living, social connection, and personal growth for all ages and abilities. We believe in the transformative power of leisure and recreation, recognizing its essential role in individual well-being, community development, and environmental stewardship.

The dedication of recreation professionals makes moments like these possible. New technologies, including AI, offer promising ways to support these practitioners, freeing up time for direct community engagement and enhancing their ability to deliver impactful programs.

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!
