Smithers Events

Join Smithers Exploration Group (SEG) for our annual Mining Month luncheon Wednesday May 7 starting at 11:30 at the Prestige Hudson Bay Lodge in Smithers. This is an opportunity for the mineral industry and the business community to connect over lunch and celebrate the contributions of the exploration and mining industries to the Smithers’ economy. In 2020 Smithers attracted the most exploration expenditures on any community in BC, outpacing both Vancouver and Prince George. Events like the Mining Month Luncheon keep those connections fresh.

Tickets are $50 plus gst and will go on sale March 21 on Eventbrite. Please indicate if you require vegetarian or gluten free options.

This year SEG will feature a panel of speakers focused on training local workers for the future minerals industry: Training Tomorrow’s Miners - Vital for Securing Our Economic Future. This discussion will explore current initiatives, address challenges such as skill gaps and access to education, and brainstorm new ideas to ensure our community is not left behind.

As a first step, Smithers exploration and mining companies will staff tables in the banquet room after the luncheon to chat with students who want more information on careers and training for exploration and mining.

Remember May is Mining Month in BC. Watch for local events and join in the fun.
