SDG 11

Examples of UN SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities in Action

SDG 11 aims to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. As urban populations grow, the challenge of ensuring access to affordable housing, transportation, and basic services increases. This goal focuses on improving urban planning, reducing the environmental impact of cities, and ensuring that everyone has access to clean water, sanitation, and green spaces. By building cities that are sustainable and inclusive, SDG 11 works to create environments where people can live healthy, fulfilling lives, while minimizing the strain on natural resources and ensuring social and economic equity.

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!
