A 34 Year Tradition
The 34th annual Canadian Mining Games competition provided an opportunity for mining engineering students from across Canada to showcase their mining knowledge, problem-solving and adaptive capabilities through a variety of challenges. Through such a unique opportunity, students and sponsors were able to network, recruit and achieve brand exposure from the mining industry.
Jaxon Reid commented “BCIT students travelled to Sudbury, Ontario as Laurentian University hosted this year’s competition. Travel went smoothly and the team had an amazing attitude throughout the competition.” Congratulations to the BCIT students who earned a podium finish in 5 events, as well as a scholarship for Women in Mining!
