Digital Literacy

Our Digital Literacy programs and projects deliver digital skills training and creative technology education across Northern Ontario, Winnipeg, and rural communities, supporting artists, youth, and small organizations through practical, accessible learning. Programming includes digital literacy workshops, online communication skills, media and content creation, internet safety, and digital storytelling, with an emphasis on real-world application in arts, culture, and community development. These initiatives strengthen digital inclusion, improve access to technology, and support creative sector capacity building through hands-on training in online publishing, multimedia production, and digital tools for artistic practice. The programs also explore responsible technology use and emerging platforms, including AI literacy for communities, helping participants adapt to evolving digital environments while expanding opportunities in creative industries, cultural programming, and community-based innovation.

We’re the first ones growing up with always-available digital companions that sound almost human. That means we get to decide: individually and together, whether these tools stay helpers or quietly become replacements. Paying attention to when we reach for them instead of a real person might be one of the more useful skills we can build right now.

Sometimes the best way to understand technology is to build something yourself. Bush Chess gave us an opportunity to experiment with algorithms, test ideas and see how small changes in the code affect the way a computer plays.

Games are some of the most effective classrooms for understanding digital logic and user experience design. By breaking chess down into state changes, coordinates, and feedback loops, we turned abstract coding concepts into something immediately tangible and fun to play with.

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!
