Some of the many highlights from Pierre Gratton's final address as President & CEO of the Mining Association of Canada.

Pierre reflected on the evolution of the industry over the past quarter century, noting a significant shift from widespread skepticism to growing public support. Today, the perception of mining companies operating in Canada is more favourable than at any point in the past 14 years.

"We are truly not a sunset industry, but a strategic sector whose importance at this point in our history has never been so great or appreciated. The sector is shining, the future is bright," Pierre said. "The only thing in mining walking into the sunset right now is me. I thank you all for your support and friendship over the years."

Thank you, Pierre, for sharing this milestone event with us. We also thank Sharon Singh for moderating the discussion.
