Manitoba Agriculture

This section highlights our land-based programming and community-driven food innovation, made possible through the generous support of the Manitoba Agriculture Indigenous Food Systems and Agriculture Program. In 2023 and 2024, our pilot projects were supported by Manitoba Agriculture, the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design’s Creative Entrepreneurship and Master of Arts in Creative Leadership Programs.

Activities supported by Manitoba Agriculture

Explore stories, tools, and projects that integrate Indigenous food systems, sustainable agriculture, food product development, climate-smart farming, and creative entrepreneurship. From agri-food innovation to youth-led land stewardship and arts-based approaches to food security, this category reflects our commitment to culturally rooted, community-first food futures.

The Art of Canning for Cultural Entrepreneurship introduces the art of canning and food preservation to urban Indigenous Winnipeg youth. Combining canning and hands-on skills development, participants learn to create and market a food product, while exploring opportunities for cultural entrepreneurship in the agri-food sector. The project explores sustainable food systems through traditional knowledge exchange for cultural preservation, food literacy, and economic reconciliation.

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!
