The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 28 to June 3 as Mining Week in Saskatchewan, a chance to celebrate the strength of the industry and the hard-working people who support it across the province. “This is an exciting time for the Saskatchewan mining industry, coming off another year with record sales numbers and the launch of Securing the Future: Saskatchewan’s Critical Minerals Strategy,” Energy and Resources Minister Jim Reiter said. “For the third year in a row, we rank in the top three globally as one of the best places for mining in terms of investment attractiveness, according to the Fraser Institute.”*

Building on the momentum of the province’s critical min- erals strategy, the theme for this year’s Saskatchewan Mining Week is “Saskatchewan: A Growing Critical Minerals Hub.” The province is home to 23 of the 31 critical minerals on Canada’s list. Saskatchewan has an opportunity to contribute to meeting the global demand for critical minerals including potash, uranium, helium, lithium, copper, zinc, cobalt, nickel and rare earth elements.

“This year’s theme showcases the critical role Saskatchewan mineral production has in the value chain of providing clean energy and global food security through our world-class production of potash and uranium,” Saskatchewan Mining Association Board Chair Nathaniel Huckabay said. “Our near-term production of other critical minerals,

The buyer should also be looking for an out. It’s a toxic property nownobody wants to do business with the people who destroyed the library. They’re now the villains in a kids movie, in fiction their plans would have already been foiled by a plucky dog. They might have made the offer in good faith, with the assumption that the city had any plan at all if the sale proceeded. But now they’re probably watching their back for any Jack Russell terriers or skateboarding preteens. Municipal elections are famously poorly attended. As a result, if you have an issue which makes people passionate, they are going to turn out in huge numbers to make their desired result happen. The library issue filled the council chambers. It’ll empty it too.
