Northwest Community College was one of the major winners from last weeks Minerals North conference in Terrace, as a mining company working in the region provided a financial lift towards training for the future.
At the end of the Conference of Friday, Seabridge Gold President Jay Layman announced that the College would receive a donation of 100,000 dollars from the mining company, Seabridge currently is working on plans for a mining operation in the Stewart region. (see video here)
The donation to NWCC will provide money destined towards development of a mobile trades vehicle, providing for the opportunity to bring training to a large number of communities throughout the region.
Northwest Community College has become a main training location for the Minerals industry for the province in the last few years, with the Smithers campus of NWCC home to the School of Exploration and Mining.
