We were in Balmertown, ON a few weeks ago to deliver a Mining Rocks Earth Science Program in partnership with Evolution Mining. Participants learned about #thermal conductors and insulators and our partners from Evolution shared their experiences working in the industry.

We spent the week assembling over 100 GEMS kits that will be enjoyed by youth during #ScienceLiteracyWeek this September. These kits will be distributed to communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. Thank you to @LabradorUr and NSERC / CRSNG for supporting this initiative.

We just wrapped up our summer programs with OYEP. Through hands-on activities, youth learned about soil and erosion, headframes, and robotics uses in the minerals industry. Thank you to our friends and partners at OYEP for this incredible opportunity.

This year's #SciLit theme is math and for our first WHERE Mini contest of the year, we want you to explore how minerals make an appearance in your math class. From protractors to pencils, minerals are essential to the study of this fine subject. bit.ly/3TrXUZJ

In August, we delivered the first MRMET tour of the year. Participants got a taste of life in a mining camp as they stayed overnight at Impala Canada's Lac Des Iles Mine. We are thrilled to be able to provide such a rich experience with OntMiningAssoc CEC @CIMorg

Science Literacy Week kicks off today! We are excited for youth in communities in Newfoundland and Labrador to explore geology, engineering, mining, and sustainability as they complete activities from the GEMS kit they received. scienceliteracy.ca

Together with the APGO Education Foundation, we met hundreds of visitors at our booth last weekend and shared about the geology in the nation's capital. Kids made necklaces using amethyst and copper wire and decorated frames with local rocks and minerals. #Ottawa #geologyrocks

The WHERE Challenge is open! WHERE stands for the fields in which geoscientists work: Water, Hazards, Energy, Resources, and Environment. Mining Matters invites students aged 9-14 to discover What on Earth is in your stuff and WHERE on Earth it comes from. wherechallenge.ca

This October, we are thankful for critical minerals as they contribute to a low-carbon future and help keep our planet - and everything that lives in it - healthy and happy. In this challenge, explore the uses of #criticalminerals in #greentechnologies. bit.ly/3SlPIJy
