Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Randy Bates penned an article last week affirming – based on scientific data – that waters in the transboundary Stikine, Taku, and Unuk rivers continue to meet Alaska’s water quality standards. This is a strong validation of the longstanding collaborative work between Alaska and British Columbia (BC) to protect these shared rivers and the salmon populations they sustain. Commissioner Bates' affirmation recognizes the efforts undertaken by the Province of BC and the mining industry operating in Northwest BC, reinforcing that responsible mining and environmental stewardship can coexist. Importantly, Commissioner Bates’ determination to protect the transboundary rivers and salmon is shared equally in BC, where communities, Indigenous Nations, government and industry rely on and value water quality and salmon as much as our neighbours in Alaska. https://lnkd.in/gkSBMsnZ #bcpoli #cdnpoli #transboundarymining #bcmining

As local government leaders from across BC prepare to gather in Vancouver for the Union of BC Municipalities Convention, here’s a number worth knowing: For every 10 jobs at a mine site, another 18 jobs are supported elsewhere in BC - including 12 jobs in rural communities across the province and six in Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Those jobs extend into engineering, transportation, professional services, equipment supply and businesses across BC. Mining’s economic impact doesn’t stop at the mine gate. It reaches communities throughout the province. 📊 Learn more in MABC’s Mining and Metro Vancouver Economic Impact Study: https://lnkd.in/gBJVZMgB #UBCM #BCMining #LocalGovernment #EconomicDevelopment #Jobs

⚽⛏️ The Mineral Matchup: 🇨🇭 Switzerland vs 🇨🇴 Colombia Vancouver’s final FIFA World Cup 2026 match brings one more global mining story to BC Place. Colombia is known for its world-famous emeralds, and is also an important producer of coal, gold and nickel—minerals that support energy, technology, infrastructure and global trade. Switzerland adds another layer to the story as a major hub for international markets, where resources, investment and supply chains connect across continents. Together, this matchup highlights how minerals move from the ground to global markets—and how mining connects economies far beyond the final whistle. Like Colombia, British Columbia produces minerals that reach markets around the world, including copper, gold, zinc, steelmaking coal and critical minerals that support everyday life.
