On Wednesday, March 19, mining industry associates will take to Queen’s Park to promote mining and the benefits it provides to society and the economy.
During Meet the Miners day, organized by the Ontario Mining Association (OMA), politicians and public servants will get a chance to engage in a variety of activities. The events are aimed at showing the positive effects a mine can have on employment opportunities, entrepreneurial activity, investment, infrastructure, community development and taxation revenues.
During Meet the Miners day, the OMA will hold a board of directors meeting and luncheon. Monte Hummel, president emeritus of the World Wildlife Fund Canada will provide guests with the perspective of a leading environmentalist and ideas for mutual co-operation.
In addition, delegates, mine managers and OMA directors will meet with cabinet ministers and leaders from the opposition in the afternoon to discuss mining in Ontario.
In the evening, the OMA, through the support of Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle, will host an invitation- only reception in the legislature, featuring OMA president Chris Hodgson and chairman Jeremy Wyeth.
Also during Meet the Miners day, the OMA will be holding Mine Managers, Hoist Plant Committee and Environmental Committee meetings.
