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.

This project supported relationship development, consultation, and engagement activities with the University of the Arctic (UArctic). It explored participatory arts-based food security, northern supply chain research, and entrepreneurship training/mentorship opportunities. The youth-led initiative engaged the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, University of Victoria and the UArctic Thematic Network on Local-Scale Planning, Climate Change, and Resilience.

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!
