MineConnect AGM 2025 + Roadshow is an in-person evening experience bringing together our members, partners, and industry leaders for a high-energy night of connection, celebration, and community.
We’re excited to welcome Greg Rickford, Ontario’s Minister of Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation and Minister Responsible for Ring of Fire Economic and Community Partnerships, as a special guest this year. His presence reflects the importance of collaboration across government, industry, and Indigenous communities as we continue building a strong, competitive, and responsible mining supply and services sector in Ontario.
The evening includes live music, a networking reception, the MineConnect Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, an update on our past fiscal year, and a look ahead at what’s coming next.
