When people talk about community development, the conversation often turns to buildings, equipment and large projects. Those things matter, but so do the modest spaces that support everyday social life. Seating, paths, shade and planting can make it easier for people to meet, talk and spend time outdoors. These are practical investments in how a place functions, and they can create opportunities for community activities without requiring an elaborate setup.

Good Ideas Need a Place to Sit

Park benches, campus gardens and informal gathering spaces remind us that placemaking begins with people, not expensive infrastructure.

A university campus, a few garden planters, and plenty of inspiration for our next visit! We enjoyed seeing how Athabasca University brings a little nature into its shared spaces. Our living lab work often centres on placemaking, community gardens, and food security, so it's always interesting to see how other places make room for greenery and community life. Thanks, Athabasca University, for a wonderful visit!

At this year's Together in Research conference hosted by Athabasca University, Elyssa is highlighting how Cognified Succession Planning transforms institutional knowledge transfer. The framework maps dynamic team relationships, responsibilities, and learning needs through visual, digitally supported interventions. By aligning instructional design with human-centered governance, this method prevents knowledge loss, reduces employee burnout, and secures continuity across complex systems.

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!
