The short course will feature documentary-style lectures, group discussion and multi-media exercises working with actual data from long-term surveys and assessments. In-class sessions will be held on Saturday June 20th, with group work and presentations on Sunday June 21st, followed by a guided tour of the Sudbury reclamation sites.
The Conference also includes a Tradeshow and Exhibition, free to the public, which will feature many innovative developments and displays relevant to the mining industry, including exhibits from all aspects of the mining and environmental community.
