Smithers will host Minerals North 2026 next May 6 to 8. This is great news and a natural location to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the event. This will be the sixth time it's been in Smithers with previous years in 1990, 1995, 2004, 2008 and 2016. SEG will play an important role in the conference, hosting an educational display targetting school-age kids from the district.
Thanks to Prince George for hosting this year's Minerals North - it was a lot of fun.
Save the date - SEG's annual fall golf tournament Friday September 12.
