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.

Looking Ahead to Fall

Students, artists and community projects are getting underway as we head into another busy fall.

This is a snapshot of our arts incubator as a living network rather than a collection of separate projects. We’ve been experimenting with knowledge graphs, mapping, and data visualization, but the process has also become a creative way to look back through our own work and discover relationships that aren't always obvious when everything is sitting in separate folders, spreadsheets, and posts.

Mapping What We’ve Been Up To

Traditional data visualization often flattens complex histories into static, two-dimensional charts that tell a frozen story.

Real-world research rarely fits neatly into separate boxes, which is why this fall we’re exploring what might happen if we stopped trying to keep all the ingredients apart. With Scrambled Research, we’re experimenting with ways to bring community partners, artists, students, academics, organizations and other contributors into a more flexible research network, while asking what happens when roles, funding, expertise and knowledge can move in different directions. We’re not starting with a finished model or claiming we’ve figured it out; we’re curious about what becomes possible when the usual institutional boundaries get loosened, rearranged and tested. The fun part is seeing what emerges when we scramble the ingredients and let the research itself show us where it wants to go.

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!
