As Canadians, we can be very proud of our mining industry. The pioneering efforts by Canadian companies, foreign companies operating in Canada, industry associations and governments at all levels are helping transition the world to a more sustainable future.  

Canada’s unmatched commitment to sustainable mining was made especially clear to those who attended PDAC 2022 – the world’s premier mineral exploration and mining convention – hosted by the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada. The event, celebrating its 90th anniversary, is held annually in Toronto. 

At the Canada Day sessions presented by Invest in Canada, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson discussed how unmatched strength in critical minerals will help Canada in the competitive race to net-zero. Minister Wilkinson concluded that through thoughtful and bold action, Canada can leverage its inherent advantages and create a “truly sustainable, prosperous, low-carbon” economy.
