Sudbury’s science centre is partnering with The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) to develop a mineral literacy program to increase public awareness of the mining industry.
The program, called “Our Earth’s Riches,” is a public outreach initiative that will showcase a high-tech mining industry and how it contributes to our way of life.
Science North is working with the CIM to design a 6,000-square-foot travelling interactive exhibit, which will be displayed at science centres and museums across Canada over a five-year period.
