2019 CLRA National Conference & AGM/TRCR Annual Reclamation Symposium Presentations & Proceedings
Event Recap
—
Day 1 (Sept 16) started the conference off with a workshop on ‘Landform Design for Sustainable Mine Reclamation’.
Day 2 (Sept 17) was a fabulous and highly informative tour of the former Sullivan Mine in Kimberley, British Columbia. Sullivan Mine was once a major producer of zinc, lead, and silver. After operating for nearly 100 years, it is now an example of a successful mine closure — a process that included collaboration between Teck and the local community of Kimberley to create lasting benefits.
Day 3 & 4 (Sept 18 & 19) were the ‘Technical Paper Presentations’ and Annual Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) and BC Mine Reclamation and Awards Banquet at the Kimberley Conference Centre.
A huge thank you to the BC TRCR organizing committee for having the CLRA join forces to put on the 2019 conference.
