Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership

This category features projects, insights, and stories from our pilot projects supported in 2023-2024 by the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) — a $3.5 billion, 5-year agreement between federal, provincial, and territorial governments (2023–2028). Our food security, food product development and sustainable agriculture pilot projects, were funded in part by Sustainable CAP, with a focus on strengthening innovation, resiliency, and competitiveness in Canada’s agri-food systems.

Thank you to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership

Through this support, we’ve advanced sustainable food production, fostered relationship development across Indigenous and rural communities, and led engagement efforts nationally and internationally. Topics in this category include climate-resilient agriculture, agri-tech innovation, soil health, regenerative farming, and community-based food systems.

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.

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.
