volunteers from our Vancouver office came together for a volunteer initiative organized by our Mining and Environmental Group’s ESG Committee, spending part of their day supporting the Union Gospel Mission (UGM) in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

For more than 80 years, UGM has supported individuals facing poverty, homelessness, addiction, and other significant challenges. Through its emergency shelters, meal programs, outreach initiatives, recovery services, and mobile missions, UGM continues to provide essential support to vulnerable individuals and communities across the Lower Mainland and other parts of British Columbia.

During their volunteer shift, our team rolled up their sleeves to assist in several areas, including kitchen operations, the UGM Thrift Store, and shelter maintenance. It was a rewarding experience filled with meaningful work and opportunities to connect with UGM staff. Our team was particularly appreciative of the welcoming and knowledgeable UGM staff, who shared valuable insights into the organization’s programs and their impacts on the community.

A big thank you to the Union Gospel Mission team for welcoming our volunteers and for the incredible work they continue to do in our community!

is proud to be featured in the latest issue of GBR (Global Business Reports) Australia Mining 2026 magazine, with two articles exploring key challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Australia’s mining industry.

Tailings: A Tale of Two Incentives – Pg. 87 - 88

As expectations around dam safety, environmental responsibility, and corporate accountability continue to grow, mining companies are facing increasing pressure to look beyond technical compliance and strengthen how tailings facilities are managed throughout their lifecycle. In this article, KCB’s VP Australasia, Warren Vincent-Lambert, shares his insights on the internal ambitions and external pressures driving the adoption of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), and what this means for the future of tailings management in Australia.

Critical Minerals Need Critical Skills: Closing Australia’s Engineering Talent Gap – Pg. 89 - 90

As demand for critical minerals continues to grow, Australia’s mining industry faces another significant challenge; ensuring it has the skilled engineering workforce needed to support future development. KCB’s Senior Geotechnical Engineers Leah Huxley and Louis Kirsten explore the growing shortage of specialist engineering professionals, the challenges of developing experienced technical leaders, and why investing in the next generation of engineers is critical to the industry’s long-term growth.

Together, these articles highlight the importance of strengthening both industry practices and technical capabilities to support the safe, responsible, and sustainable development of Australia’s mining sector.

Members of our LAM Young Professionals Running Club recently participated in the Caminhada Rosa in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, an initiative that promotes an active lifestyle while supporting an important cause: raising awareness and supporting the fight against breast cancer.

Representing KCB at the event were Enzo Dias, Raphael Viola, Carolina Costa, Tamara Bracarense, and Jackeline Huertas, who joined members of the local community in support of this important cause.

Beyond raising awareness, the event provided an opportunity to connect outside the workplace, enjoy the outdoors, and strengthen relationships in a positive and engaging environment. Initiatives like these reflect KCB's commitment to supporting employee well-being while making meaningful contributions to the communities where we live and work.

was proud to sponsor and participate in this year's Girls and STEAM Summit at Science World, an annual event designed to inspire girls and gender-diverse youth to explore future opportunities in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM).

Representing KCB, Olivia Dillon and Anna Lockstein engaged with participants through hands-on learning and conversations about careers in engineering. As part of KCB's interactive activity, attendees explored the concept of soil liquefaction, a phenomenon that can occur during earthquakes when water-saturated soils temporarily lose their strength and ability to support structures. Using a LEGO building, sand, and water, Anna demonstrated how liquefaction works, helping participants visualize complex geotechnical engineering concepts.

The summit brought together STEAM professionals, mentors, and youth for a day of discovery, learning, and inspiration. KCB was pleased to support an initiative that encourages curiosity, builds connections, and helps empower the next generation of STEAM leaders.

10/06/2026

Our fourth annual Young Professionals (YP) Summit, hosted in Vancouver, brought together YPs from 's global offices, including Vancouver, Calgary, Brisbane, and Lima.

Over the course of the event, participants engaged in discussions on career development, leadership, technical excellence, and KCB's future direction. Highlights included a career panel featuring employees from various roles and disciplines, presentations on our values and strategic priorities, and YP-led presentations showcasing project experiences from across the company.

The summit continues to be an important opportunity for young professionals to connect, share knowledge, and strengthen relationships across our regions.
