Mining Week in BC 2011
Celebrating one of the province’s oldest and largest industry’s, Mining Week in BC kicks off today. Events include the Teck Children’s Hospital Fundraiser, a Women in Mining Gala Reception, and business luncheons in Vancouver, Campbell River, Smithers, Prince George and Kamloops.
In Vancouver there will be a Mining Week Community Fair at the Vancouver Art Gallery from 10:00am until 3:00pm on Wednesday, May 11. More than 300 students from schools across BC (and the public) have been invited to learn about geology, minerals, and the source of many household items used daily.
Also at the Vancouver Art Gallery, on Thursday, May 12, check out the Mining for Miracles campaign in support of BC Children’s Hospital. A committee of mining industry executives (who formed Mining for Miracles in 1988) have been fundraising and will take part in a pie-throw – making themselves the targets – for this cause.
To promote Mining Week in BC, the Mining Association is giving away 5 iPads (which are made with aluminum and other metals) to those who fill out and answer a mining-related quiz on the IHeartMining website. They have also offered a iPad2 with WiFi (32GB, black) to a Miss604 reader. Here’s how you can enter to win an iPad2 from me:
I will compile all of the entries and draw a winner at random at 10:00am, Saturday May 14, 2011. For more information you can find the Mining Association of BC on Facebook and Twitter.
Update After compiling the 827 entries, one person’s name was drawn and that is Duncan Stephen (who commented but also goes by @discostep on Twitter) – congratulations!

IPad!!!
Such great history in this province when it comes to mining. Love all the old stories and old pictures from way back! This post wants me to dig into my camping supplies, grab my gold-pan and head off to some beautiful stream in BC’s hinterland.
It’s great that you are doing all these local awareness contests.
I think it’s a great idea to use an ipad giveaway to draw attention to the many high tech uses for resources from (initially) low tech sources.
Nice tie-in. I love it!
What a nice way to educate the young ones about geology, minerals, and mining !
What an amazing giveaway!
I tweeted @sharonnelt

Great contest, my grandfather was a coal miner for many years. I still have some his mining equipment from way back. We always used to take him to Britannia Mines when he visited from Manitoba, he loved it.
Would LOVE to win an Ipad2! Thanks for the chance!
Same as Brian, my G-Pa was a coal miner in Sidney, NS!
I love it 🙂
My family loves the Mining Museum. We go up every spring/summer.

Way to go Miners! Lets celebrate with an iPad!
Great contest!
Awesome prize
Wow amazing contest 🙂 I love it and miss 604 😉 go canucks go game day!’n
Yep I am always up for winning a free ipad.
I agree it is nice to take the time to appreciate all the good things about mining. Often we only have complaints about mining and what it has done to our environment in the past.
Reputable companies are improving things out there. Plus I really wouldn’t want to see the state of technology or even my pots and pans without someone out there digging in the dirt.
Ok I am off to Tweet this as well @dreambigtweets
Nice job folks!
I really like the local flavour – go miners!
I loved going to the Britannia Museum of Mining so I’m going to sooo try and make it downtown for this! :o)
You always have the best contests!

Great contest, and I learned a bit more about the mining industry!

Still haven’t made it to the Britannia Mine tour yet…one day.
Great promos, thanks for the offer!
thanks for hosting this great contest
I absolutely love ‘super natural British Columbia’ it really is the best place on Earth!!!
Woohoo, what I could do with an iPad! 🙂
It’s nice to see the mining industry getting positive attention!
Cool! My son is doing a project on mining in BC this week – we’ve been reading about Barkerville and were blown away by the updated Mining Museum at Brittania Beach.
Yay BC!
Thanks for sharing this great info! We have family members working in the mining industry 🙂
Amazing events happening for mining week, thanks for the info and the contest!
I’d love to win this and remember fondly going to the mining museum as a kid.
I saw a special about mining week in the Vancouver sun today.

Am torn between getting a tablet netbook, iPad, or an Android tablet! Winning would make my choice much easier 🙂
I went to the Mining Museum last summer and it was quite fun to check out the underground tunnels.
Would love to win this contest!
I’ve been wanting to check out the Mining Museum for years!
I would love to know more about mining and the environment! Thanks for the contest
I’ve panned for gold so I can pretty much be considered a miner. There should be an gold panning app for the iPad. Just saying…
This would be fantastic! Would love to win!
Would love an iPad! 🙂
We went to the Britania Mine Museum a couple of years ago while coming back down from Squamish. It’s a pretty cool place and the tiered building you have a picture of is something that has to be seen to be believed. The sheer size of it is mindboggling and you get this strange feeling of being on a movie set for some steam punk flick. Very cool.
Love to win this.
very cool!
Yay ipad!
Awesome article as per usual, rebecca!funny I was just reading about mining week on a customers site at work.
Would love to win the iPad2!
I would mine for an iPad!
Neat to hear just what items the products of our industry end up in!
Wohoo! I love to visit B.C…..and mining is cool!
Great recognition for the mining industry!
I tweeted thsi giveaway. =D
Sounds like fun!
I don’t tweet, but I can go to Art Gallery on Wednesday! Sure!
I used to work in the mining industry, believe it or not. Every time I go up to Whistler, I pass by the Britannia Mine Museum in Squamish.
Mining – a big part of BC’s history.
Cool, I’ll be at the Art Gallery!!!
I would LOVE to win an iPad! Thanks for the chance!
Ipad2 awesome! Thanks for the info on mining as well!
Good luck everyone!
Does the iPad have a mining app?
The mining museum is definitely worth seeing
Ipad! Mining! Entry!

So cool!
I checked out a gold mining Museum in Balarat, Australia (West of Melbourne) that was pretty cool. Ill have to find one out here.
Love me some metals!
Wow, there’s so much I don’t know about Mining!
Sweet contest! Hooray for mining!
This is a great prize…and educational.
This is a pretty contemporary way of bringing awareness to product production. I mean the things we use are made from raw materials at some point, just like the metals in the ipad mentioned in the blog post. Hopefully I can check out the Art Gallery wednesday and thursday too!
This province is rich in natural resources that make a huge difference to our daily lives! BC Mining Week is great to educate and for us to appreciate!

Contest entry!
One of my longest and earliest collections was “shiny rocks” when I was growing up. I loved holding the rocks up to the sun to see how much shine it had. I finally learned what some of the rock I owned were called in first year Geology in college. 🙂
In my earlier years in Whistler have been a rock drill operator and blaster and my dad was a coal miner in Nova Scotia (in my genes) #miningweek
Wahoo!! Ipad contest 🙂 Thanks Miss604

I’ve always been a fan of mining ever since I was a kid. Clearly I ended up heading down another path but still love learning about or hearing stories from friends who do work in the industry.

Would be great to check this out
That would be a really unique IPad to have. NICE.
That is such an unglamourous job, that most of us cannot appreciate. Those men work so hard. Congrats to them for doing so, and thanks for making this town aware;)
Would love the iPad.
oooh. would be so awesome to get one without lineup and checking in at all the apple stores!
I didn’t notice the Ipad giveaway when I read it the first time and was puzzled at the 201 comments for a mining event. Then I reread it and it all made sense.
iPads are beyond cool and nifty. I would vow to always be nice to miners if I were to win
Looks so good! Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love an iPad2 since I never did get the first one. =D
Wow! That would be great!
What a giveaway. A friend of mine just went up to Kamloops to work in a mine!
BTW, that 2nd picture looks like it’d be a fun rollercoaster.
What a great prize.

I would soooooo love to win an Ipad!!! Fingers and toes crossed!
Almost everything we touch, from PCs to pens, relies on the mining industry in some way. Great contest!
Everybody likes free stuff.
I didn’t realize the Britannia museum was so cool looking. I’ve never stopped, but think it’s about time I did!
Wow. Nice prize. Count me in!

Doh! Wish the VAG event went a little longer on Wednesday – I’m going to miss it. Being from Prince George, I certainly respect the benefit of mining in this province. And I’d love an iPad.
It’s interesting to learn about the mining community – it’s something we don’t really hear much about these days.
Of course who wouldn’t want one?
This would be awesome.

Was just there yesterday! Too bad the weather was so yucky… thank goodness for all those tents in front of the Art Gallery! And the delicious BBQ-up stand so close by… 😛
It’s probably time for me to take a swing up to Britannia this summer. Considering I’ve lived in the Lower Mainland all my life and have done nothing more than drive by, I’m should be ashamed.
Oh cool. Guess I’ll check it out now
Thanks for the contest, very cool.
I was planning on going up to Britannia this Sunday with my sister. Looking forward to it! We haven’t been since we were in elementary school!
cool contest!

Mining is so important to BC’s industries! Let’s support all these initiatives going on.
My grandfather and great grandfather were both miners up at Britannia mines , my dad ( who grew up on Mt Shear at the top of the mountain) says growing up in a community such as that was the best time of his life. we go back to show my kids the museum once a year so they can understand not only the importance of mining to our world..but the importance of a community.
