Reconciliation requires listening, learning and relationships that extend beyond a single day.

For those working in mining, part of that reflection is listening to Indigenous voices and learning from the relationships between Indigenous communities and mineral development.

CIM Magazine’s Indigenous Participation in Mining series explores those relationships through stories from across Canada, from Indigenous investment and ownership to employment and training, remediation, impact benefit agreements and long-term partnerships.

We invite our community to take time to read and reflect on these stories and the perspectives within them.
