Last week, the PDAC Student and Early Career team participated in the @McMasterU's annual career fair! It was a great opportunity to raise awareness about the many careers in the mineral industry.

On September 24th, the PDAC will be headed to the P4E Career Fair. We're excited to meet students and early career individuals to raise awareness of the exciting careers in the mineral industry.   Join us from 10am-3pm at the Manulife Sportsplex at RIM Park next Wednesday!
