“Meet The Miners” at Queen’s Park

It may have been a dark and dreary day late last month in Toronto when the Ontario Mining Association held its annual “Meet the Miners” reception at Queen’s Park, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of more than 100 mining executives and government officials who gathered to talk about the contributions the Ontario mining industry makes to the economy of the province.

Officially hosted by the popular Minister of Northern Development and Mines, the Honourable Mike Gravelle, the event was held in the Legislative Dining Room where delegates used the opportunity to showcase the industry to key decision makers within the government.

The theme of this year’s event focused on the economy and the message from the miners to the government emphasized that miners still continue to make contributions to the wellbeing of society by providing jobs and investing in regional development.
