MPP West tables Mining Awareness Week Act

QUEEN’S PARK – NDP Shadow Minister for Labour and Energy & Mines MPP Jamie West (Sudbury) tabled his Mining Awareness Week Act motion in the Legislature:

"Mining has long been a cornerstone of Northern Ontario’s economy, supporting good jobs, strong communities, and the materials we rely on every day,” said MPP West.

The week was selected to coincide with the week that the Ontario Mining Association was founded in 1920.

“Mining Awareness Week is an opportunity to recognize the workers, innovation, and opportunities this sector creates across our province. It’s also a chance to have important conversations about building a sustainable mining future that respects workers, Indigenous communities, and the environment while strengthening Ontario’s economy for generations to come.”
