Minneapolis College of Art and Design

This section showcases the outstanding support and collaboration we’ve received from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD), particularly through the Creative Entrepreneurship and Master of Arts in Creative Leadership programs. From empowering Arctic youth in Nunavut with entrepreneurial skills, to supporting artificial intelligence and climate resilience and innovation in Manitoba, and advancing sustainable agriculture and food security in Northwestern Ontario, MCAD students, faculty, and researchers have played an instrumental role in mentoring our teams and strengthening our community-led initiatives. Our programs are proud to say they have been “Made with MCAD,” and we express our deep gratitude for their visionary partnership, creative leadership, and ongoing commitment to social impact across borders.

This project supported relationship development, consultation, and engagement actions to explore participatory food security research and food sector training opportunities with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Creative Entrepreneurship program. It supported research design to attract research investment to Manitoba and was led by youth from the Winnipeg-based Art Borups Corners project.

Building on the first pilot project, this next iteration included curriculum enhancement and expanded training opportunities where participants learned to create, market, and sell a food product while exploring opportunities for cultural and food sector entrepreneurship. The project addressed sustainable food systems through traditional knowledge exchange for cultural preservation, food literacy, and economic reconciliation, and increased replicability for northern community delivery.

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!
