CEMI symposium focuses on Ring of Fire
Feb 08, 2012- 11:05 AM
By: Sudbury Northern Life Staff
The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) is hosting a symposium Feb. 9 focusing on how the Ring of Fire mineral deposits can help with economic development in northern communities.
“We recognize the urgent need for change in the conditions that exist in northern communities, and to facilitate the development of the mining operations, and other businesses, that can bring economic development to these communities,” according to an online description of the symposium.
“The goal in organizing this event is to bring new ideas about infrastructure and social organization to the discussion about economic development for remote communities.
“Setting aside political issues for the day, we will focus the discussion on practical solutions to the problems that have hindered progress for so long, including the implementation of sophisticated communication technology, alternative transportation systems, alternative energy solution and purpose-built housing.”
The symposium takes place in the auditorium at the Willet Green Miller Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
