Industry Conferences
Every year exploration and mining groups around BC open their doors to welcome teachers to their annual conferences. To support participation, organizers waive conference fees for a limited number of teachers who gain access to the technical presentations, the tradeshows, and in some cases, a conference field trip. MREPBC facilitates teachers' participation and offers TOC support for a limited number of teaches to attend.
