The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame welcomed eight new inductees (five posthumously) at its second annual dinner at Toronto’s Royal York Hotel in January. The three surviving members inducted were Eldon Leslie Brown, William Fleming James and Alex Mosher. The five members inducted posthumously were Hector Authier, Selwyn Gwillym Blaylock, John Ross Bradfield, Norman Bell Keevil and Robert Crooks Stanley.
At its inaugural dinner in 1989, the Hall of Fame welcomed 12 pioneers of the Canadian mining scene.
Members are selected on the basis of outstanding lifetime achievements in one or more of four categories: exploration, building the corporation, technical contribution and mining in society.
The third annual Hall of Fame dinner is scheduled for Jan. 7, 1991.
