SEG's Outreach initiatives target the broader community, including schools and elected bodies. Outreach helps non-industry people in the northwest understand the minerals industry, how it works and the benefits it brings to communities across northern BC. The Outreach program is partially funded by the Association for Mineral Exploration.

If you want to request a speaker for your event or meeting, please contact  Outreach Co-ordinator Georgia Mack outreachsmithersexplorationgroup@gmail.com
