Climate Entrepreneurship

What Climate Entrepreneurship Means for the Future of the Canada Environment

Climate entrepreneurship is an emerging field of study and the practice of developing innovative, sustainable, and community-driven solutions that address the urgent challenges posed by climate change. In regions like Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwestern Ontario, and Minnesota, where the impacts of environmental change are deeply felt, climate entrepreneurship empowers local leaders, youth, and innovators to respond with creativity, cultural knowledge, and economic opportunity.

Exploring Climate Entrepreneurship

This category highlights projects that blend green innovation, land-based learning, and entrepreneurship training to foster climate resilience in remote, Northern, and Indigenous communities. From regenerative agriculture and renewable energy to arts-based engagement and digital storytelling, climate entrepreneurs are reimagining how we live, work, and care for our environment in the face of a changing planet.

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!
