⛏️ Go beyond the checkbox: Exploration Perspectives.
I’ve seen exploration and mining through many lenses—as an ecologist, environmental monitor, technical and regulatory professional, Indigenous engagement practitioner, and someone who supports responsible mining.
I’m also born, raised and still living in Timmins, a mining community where the industry is part of everyday life. I travel the same routes as ore haul trucks, see mineral development all around us, and have worked on nearly every mine site in the area. Mining also supports many local families, including my own.
These experiences have shown me how responsible mining depends on careful environmental monitoring, meaningful engagement and sound decision-making.
Through my work alongside Indigenous communities, I’ve also learned that two people can walk the exact same site and see very different things.
That’s the perspective I want to share on October 29 in Timmins.
This one-day workshop brings together Western scientific and Indigenous knowledge perspectives to help participants think more holistically about exploration activities, potential impacts and the land around them.
It’s for anyone who touches exploration, including geologists, environmental staff, project managers, field crews, contractors, consultants, Indigenous engagement teams, First Nation Lands staff, community monitors and leadership.
We don’t speak on behalf of communities. Every community holds its own knowledge, values and priorities. Instead, we’ll explore big-picture perspectives and considerations that might help you notice something you hadn’t considered before.
Because better engagement doesn’t always start with another process or checklist.
Sometimes it starts by learning to see what someone else sees.
