The coolest thing that I gained from S-IMEW was the nation-wide community of peers that myself and the other participants instantly became a part of. I’ve bumped into students from my year and others at a variety of conventions, meetings and field trips over the last decade; even at non-geology related events like a curling tournament! It’s nice to know that wherever I am in Canada, a friend from my year isn’t far away. It’s often said that the social world of geology is small, which is true; S-IMEW was a great introduction to that community!

The opportunities that S-IMEW gives are immense. The program allows us to gain a well-rounded view of the industry before many of us step into our first roles. My fondest memory of S-IMEW is not one that occurred on the trip itself but one that continuous to evolve as I meet new and old S-IMEW alumni alike as I progress in my career.Â
S-IMEW installed a sense of curiosity, confidence, and wanderlust in myself which I carry forward into my career today and which will likely influence my career for years to come. Thank you to all the organizers of this event and congratulations to the 2022 crew.Â

S-IMEW provided a wonderful overview of mining and mineral exploration. It was such an eye-opening trip that showcased the wide variety of geoscience disciplines and career paths in industry. Highlights for me were exploring volcanic rocks around Noranda with Harold Gibson, visiting the shatter cones in Sudbury, and getting hands-on experience with different types of geochemical sampling. I still draw upon topics we discussed at S-IMEW in my teaching today, and now have the privilege of nominating UVic students to attend S-IMEW!
