Prince George welcomes Minerals North Conference

For the first time since 2017, the Minerals North Conference is returning to Prince George, starting today (Wednesday).

The annual event is one of the largest northern mining conferences in Western Canada.

It provides an opportunity for local communities to showcase their capacity to service the mineral industry, for community leaders to learn about economic and policy issues affecting the sector, and for the industry to be informed of local issues and community goals.

Notable speakers and presentations includes keynote addresses from Association for Mineral Exploration Chair Trish Jacques and Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Kiel Giddens, as well as an ‘Investing in the North’ panel featuring Prince George Mayor Simon Yu, Smithers Mayor Gladys Atrill, and Terrace Mayor Sean Bujtas.

The full schedule for the three-day conference is here.
