Why present at the BC Mine Reclamation Symposium?

- You give other practitioners the chance to learn from your experiences.
- It is the best way to network—attendees will come to talk to presenters!
- Your paper is publicly available as noted below, so there is a record of your work.
The TRCR actively welcomes participation from Indigenous nations and members of other BC communities. We encourage you to share your knowledge and experience with mine reclamation projects or mine applications in regulatory assessment, through a presentation or panel discussion. We will consider your proposals for presentations with or without accompanying papers.
