2012 Kamloops Mining Week Reception
A special industry luncheon hosted by MAC and MABC as part of Kamloops Mining Week and BC Mining Month celebrations. Features keynote address by MAC President Pierre Gratton on regional and national mining opportunities and challenges.
This special luncheon represents a key gathering of British Columbia's mining community during the province's designated Mining Month celebrations. The event brings together industry leaders, government representatives, and mining suppliers in the strategically important Kamloops region, which serves as a gateway to numerous mining operations throughout the interior of British Columbia. The keynote presentation by Pierre Gratton, President and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada, will address both regional opportunities specific to the Kamloops area and broader challenges facing Canada's mining sector. Attendees can expect insights into policy developments, market conditions, and strategic priorities for the industry. The pre-lunch reception hosted by the Mining Suppliers Association of British Columbia provides additional networking opportunities, connecting equipment suppliers, service providers, and mining companies. This type of regional industry gathering is particularly valuable for smaller mining companies and local suppliers seeking to build relationships and stay informed about sector developments. The timing during proclaimed Mining Week demonstrates the coordinated effort between industry associations and municipal government to raise awareness of mining's economic contributions to the region.
