Trailblazers speak out

“Because women make up 15% of the mining industry, with only 5% on the technical side, it means the mining industry is missing out on the best and the brightest.”

The Honourable MaryAnn MihychukRecipient of 1st Trailblazer Award

“The idea that we have lots of voices in the room and that there is diversity is critical. For me, it's really about how we listen to each other.”

Anne Thompson2020 Trailblazer Award Winner, President, PetraScience Consultants Inc

“This is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the women who work in the mining industry and I raise my hands to every woman in the room and to the men who are supporting the work we are doing.”
