Published: Oct. 28, 2022, 4:07 p.m.

Canada has a long and successful history in mining. While some might think the industry\u2019s best days are behind it, experts say a convergence of factors \u2012 economic, geopolitical and environmental \u2012 could mean mining is poised for unprecedented growth in Canada.\n\nThis growth is critical to Canadian manufacturers, including Ottawa\u2019s own technology sector, because these minerals are key components in electronics hardware. \n\nIn this episode of Techopia Live, Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran speaks with Pierre Gratton, the president and CEO of the Mining Association of Canada. Also, Peter Nicholson, president of the Foundation WCPD, talks about a joint event planned with the mining association on Nov. 3 at Hub350 in Kanata. More information about that event here.
