A big thank you to Environment and Natural Resources in Canada for featuring at their kiosk at the Canada Science and Technology Museum this weekend. NRCan welcomed nearly 1,000 visitors who engaged with mining activities and learned about the industry's many exciting career opportunities.

That’s a wrap on 2026 🎓

Students received their certificates after an unforgettable experience exploring the mining industry, building connections, developing new skills, and stepping outside their comfort zones.

Over the past two weeks, they’ve toured mine sites, worked alongside industry leaders, tackled real-world challenges, and formed friendships that will last long after the program ends.

We are incredibly proud of everything this group accomplished and can’t wait to see where their future takes them. Congratulations to all our MiEX students! 👏
