I’ve lived in Britannia Beach BC for 34 years now and have learned a great deal of mining history. I just found a letter opener from a CIMM BC meeting dated 1937. At this time the mine here was the Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. Later it became the Anaconda mine. Just finding more information on some of the artifacts that have come my way here. Cheers Ron Fulber

I drove into Canada from San Francisco in 1963 penniless, went to the mine office of the Sullivan mine in Kimberley the next day and was offered a job, I asked for an advance so I could sleep somewhere. Never looked back, I learnt a lot at the mine and joined the CIMM. Although I am now retired living in the US, I follow all the mining activities in Canada and the great work of the CIMM. Canada is a great mining country, may it long prosper. Pierre Mousset-Jones Professor of Mining Eng. Emeritus

I joined CIM back over 25 years ago, it was my professor at McGill, he said I had to join and you know it was the best $10 I ever spent! I got involved and engaged and I’ve been a part of this great community ever since Janice Zinck, CIM President 2018-2019

CIM has kept me connected with my mining family. People is the most important part of Caterpillar’s business, so getting our customers solutions is our goal. CIM is that bridge to our relationships with our customers and our friends and family in the industry Aasin Mehmud, Eastern Canada Territory Sales Manager, Caterpillar

I actually came into CIM a little over ten years ago as the editor-in-chief of CIM Magazine. Much like I think most society, I knew very little about mining. I didn’t realize I didn’t know anything about mining! What fascinates me is that there’s a never-ending amount of things to learn about mining. Since joining CIM, I’ve found that it’s really a tight-knit community and if you meet another CIMer, no matter where you are, there’s this instant connection Angela Hamlyn, CIM Executive Director

I’m an immigrant to Canada, I’ve been here for 13 years, and when you come over you want to get to know the industry as quickly as possible to help you fit in and to help you transition so joining CIM was the right thing to do Andy Randell, Principal Geologist, SGDS Hive

Je suis un étudiant, et c’était vraiment quelque chose d’important pour moi d’avoir une chance de discuter avec les gros noms de l’industrie. L’ICM, en particulier la section de Montréal, a beaucoup aidé avec des activités de réseautages comme les soupers conférences Olivier Perras, étudiant, l’ École Polytechnique de Montéal
