MB announces Critical Mineral Future plan

The Government of Manitoba recently released its Critical Mineral Future plan, which outlines how the province intends to strengthen its minerals sector. The actions highlighted in the plan include connecting postsecondary and industry partners to support the creation of work-integrated learning opportunities, expanding apprenticeship training opportunities, and enhancing access and training opportunities for the University College of the North’s Northern Manitoba Mining Academy NORCAT program. MB also recently invested $2M through the Manitoba Mineral Development Fund (MMDF) to boost local employment and economic development in northern Manitoba.
