Women in the mining industry are working to inspire a new generation.
The Women in Mining Timmins (WIM) group launched officially on June 14 with the help of the Timmins Chamber. The goal is to empower and advocate for women in the mining industry.
“This is about coming together, and I think it’s about time,” said WIM chair Hillary Laughren.
The organization is tied to the Canadian Institute in Mining (CIM) Porcupine Branch, and the hope is that anyone interested will participate.
“We hope to support and get behind events and whatever you choose to do locally,” said Steve Bourgounhon CIM Porcupine chair. “We want to provide opportunities and develop a network where there’s more communication, more involvement, and collaboration.”
