Mr. Speaker, in my riding of Sudbury, mining is in our DNA, and teaching students to explore the many careers in mining has never been more important.
This month, over 350 students from across Sudbury participated in the MineOpportunity Challenge, a day filled with learning about our mining industry. From geology and engineering to governance and social responsibility, students from grades 9 to 12 worked together to build mines, find answers to industry questions and complete hands-on activities, all while learning about what mining and mining innovation has to offer.
I want to acknowledge and congratulate Modern Mining & Technology Sudbury and also the Goodman School of Mines for their incredible work in making this event happen every year. It teaches the next generation about what is possible, and these young minds will ensure that Canada's mining industry will continue to thrive.
