Dick Harris, Member of Parliament for Cariboo-Prince George, on behalf of the Honourable Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced Government of Canada support to northern B.C.’s mining sector.

“Our Government understands that a productive mining industry requires skilled workers to remain competitive,” said MP Harris. “This investment in heavy equipment simulators not only benefits the industry, but will create jobs for Canadians.”

The College of New Caledonia will purchase heavy-haul truck and front-end loader simulators to provide virtual training for a total of 50 students each year, as part of the Mining Industry Certificate Program.
