PDAC launches new Indigenous youth program – CIM Magazine

The program will send five individuals to PDAC 2025 to take part in career-building opportunities related to the mineral industry

The Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) has launched a new program this week that invites Indigenous youth to participate in the PDAC 2025 Convention, which will take place from March 2 to 5 in Toronto next year.

The Indigenous Youth and Early Career Ambassador Program will provide up to five participants with an all-access pass to the PDAC Convention, along with travel assistance and invitations to select events and other opportunities, to encourage participation of Indigenous youth and early career professionals in the mineral industry. The program was developed in collaboration with PDAC’s Indigenous Affairs Committee, and with guidance from Indigenous PDAC members and partners at Mining Matters, an organization that educates youth about earth sciences and the mineral industry.
