The 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held virtually. The AGM is an opportunity for registrants to hear from Council and senior staff on the organization’s strategic process, key initiatives, and financial standing. It also provides an opportunity for registrants to participate in self-regulation by bringing forward motions for the consideration of Council.

CRITICAL ELEMENTS IN BC The push towards critical minerals as a means to provide a helping hand to address climate change concerns, and bolster the transition towards a green economy, is changing the shape of resource extraction across Canada—and in BC.

The AGM is free to attend, but registration is mandatory by Monday, October 10, 2022 at 5:00 PM, Pacific Time.
