Meeting and learning from industry leading professionals, acquiring hands-on experience, working with enthusiastic student peers, observe diamond cutting, as well as going nearly 3 km underground in the LaRonde mine, one of the deepest in the Western Hemisphere. It was a life-changing experience.
My fondest memory of S-IMEW was going underground at the McCeedy West Mine. It was my first time underground, and it left a lasting impression. It was amazing to see the massive sulphide veins.
S-IMEW offered something new and exciting each day but the most impactful part was the networking opportunities. I made many friends and contacts during S-IMEW and more often than not, I meet someone who also has a S-IMEW connection.
I've had the opportunity to work on several projects in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Labrador. Geoscience offers many opportunities to explore our great country that I cannot imagine finding anywhere else. While the last few years have been hard on many it's the exhilaration that I get when I fly in a helicopter every day, finding an outcrop that doesn't fit the current geological model, or seeing core speckled with gold that makes sticking through the hard times worth it.
