Have you heard about the exciting news happening in our local schools? In partnership with CIM Northern Gateway, Near North District School Board, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board, Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord, and Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l’Ontario, Mining Matters will be delivering 24 virtual workshops reaching over 500 students throughout the month of November to celebrate North Bay Mining Week, November 9 to 13. Starting this w...eek workshops will be delivered for grade 4 students and available in French and English. Teachers have selected the topic of focus based on four workshop options: minerals, rocks, mining, and resources. In addition, schools will be obtaining a curriculum-linked resource kit through a professional development workshop for teachers that examines rocks and minerals and investigate their importance in your life, explores how soil and erosion affect landscape and land usage, and teaches about mining and the benefits and costs of using products made from mined materials. The kit contains 39 lesson plans, rock and mineral samples, mineral testing equipment, posters, books and vocabulary resources. Schools in North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, Mattawa, Callander, Verner, Astorville, Forget River Valley, Seguin, Corbeil and Magnetawan will be participating! See more

Welcome to Mining Week! We are excited to celebrate mining in North Bay and all the companies that contribute to the mining industry that are an integral to our community. Though we do not have the grand events this year that we have had in the past, we found some creative ways to connect and educate virtually. We encourage you to join in on the conversation, share your mining stories, and join the presentation tomorrow (see our events!). Thank you all who add to vibrant mining industry in North Bay!
