A celebration of Canada’s mining story
Mining Week 2025 (May 12-18) shines a spotlight on the people, innovation, and impact of Canada’s mining industry. From classrooms to communities, this national celebration brings attention to how mining powers our everyday lives—and our future.
Educating future generations
In North Bay, Ontario, students are digging into mining with hands-on workshops, thanks to a partnership between CIM Northern Gateway and Mining Matters. These sessions teach kids about rocks, minerals, and the essential role mining plays in society.
