All things mining are gearing up to roll into town.
The 31st Canadian Mining Expo (CME) takes over the McIntyre Community Building and surrounding property June 4-6.
Looking over the Hollinger open pit — an active mine in the centre of the city — mining week was proclaimed by Timmins Mayor Michelle Boileau.
After three decades, the trades show continues to grow.
Last year, CME president Glenn Dredhart said they needed 17 outdoor tents for suppliers. This year, they require 37.
“We are literally using every bit of square inch there is to be had available,” he said.
Over 400 indoor and outdoor booths will be set up, with the event attracting dozens of active mines.
