Women in Mining Canada (WIMC) is a national not-for-profit organization formed in 2009 focused on advancing the interests of women in the minerals exploration and mining sector. In collaboration with Canadian WIMC branches we support grassroots initiatives in the realm of personal and professional development, while providing a national voice within the global minerals and mining community. Our me

mbership is composed of passionate men and women who actively support the minerals and mining industry and represent a variety of occupational trades and professions. The minerals exploration and mining industry is one of the most important sectors to the Canadian economy. As Canadians we are concerned about the future this valuable, high-tech, safe, environmentally and socially responsible industry. The sector faces many challenges including a pending skilled labour shortage. Many experts agree that improving diversity within the mining workforce by attracting and retaining traditionally underrepresented groups such as women may be the best solution. To that end, WIMC encourages young women to explore a career within the minerals sector; and helps established professionals connect and navigate their way through a successful career in the minerals sector. These initiatives contribute to the positive footprint our industry is making. As a national organization we encourage our peers to engage in the issues long term with our members through research, networking, educational forums, advocacy, topical debates, and industry speaking opportunities to ensure a sustainable minerals industry in Canada.

Hello everyone! Women in Mining (WIM) Kingston Chapter will be up and at it again this year. I know that the committee and its events did not run last year due to COVID, so most are unfamiliar with what it is. WIM organizes Student Experience Talks, the annual Fur Cup Hockey Game, various fundraisers and hopefully this year, the year-end conference. Open to all women in mining and geology related fields, we will be having our first meeting mid-November. If you want to apply to be an executive on the committee, send the filled-out doc below to myself ([email protected]) by November 9th @ 11:59pm. Check out the positions, and if you have any questions about what we do, what each positions role is etc. feel free to message me!

Today is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. Thirty years ago, on 6 December 1989, 14 women were murdered because of their genders in a horrific mass shooting at École Polytechnique in Montreal. That tragedy continues to have profound consequences in the lives of those who survived the attack, for the friends and loved ones of those who were lost, in the engineering professions, and in engineering education. So, today we honour those women, and all women who have endured gender-based violence and discrimination. We reaffirm our individual and collective responsibilities to continue working to effect positive change. We remember. . . . The December 6 Memorial Ceremony is scheduled for 3pm today in the ILC atrium.
