Ontario minister of northern development and mines Michael Gravelle has stepped away from his ministerial duties, citing a long-standing battle with depression.
He issued a statement announcing his decision recently, saying he made his choice on the advice of his doctor. "It has become clear to me that it will take some time, effort, treatment and understanding to properly address this illness," Gravelle stated.

Sudbury students pursuing mining careers recently learned a little something about pursuing innovation at the seventh annual Mining Day.
What started as a strategy by an English teacher to engage mining students at Cambrian College has morphed into a full evening of networking and presentations.
This year, the theme was "The Pursuit of Innovation." Students from Cambrian and the city's other post-secondary schools — College Boréal and Laurentian University — heard from major players in the Northern Ontario mining sector.

The clean up of the Grand River is going swimmingly thanks to major wastewater treatment upgrades.
The region has a budget of $388 million to invest in Kitchener and Waterloo's wastewater treatment plants. That's more than the $253 million it has committed to the highly publicized Ion LRT project (with the remaining capital costs being covered by the federal and provincial governments).

No one can say for certain when it happened the last time, but Ontario's mining industry is basking in what might be the best "good news story" to come along in quite awhile.
No one died in a mining accident last year in Ontario.
In all of 2016, there was not one mining fatality and Ontario Labour Minister Kevin Flynn said that everyone in the industry deserves a pat on the back because of it.
In an interview with The Daily Press, Flynn said labour leaders, mining managers and the rank-and-file workers can all take a bow for looking out for each other and for themselves.

From person to person, chief to chief, council to council and community to community, there's a broad range of opinions and perspectives among indigenous people when it comes to mining in and around their communities.
"Mining is such a hot topic in First Nations communities and across Canada, it has long-ranging effects on everybody, whether you live on reserve or off reserve — economic, political, social and environmental," said Mike Hankard, assistant professor and chair in the department of indigenous studies at the University of Sudbury.

The Geological Society of America (GSA) recently announced the discovery of a new continent: Zealandia. According to a paper published by the GSA, Zealandia measures 1.9 million square kilometres and is 94 per cent underwater.
As well, Zealandia meets all the necessary requirements to be considered a continent.
Authors of the paper propose that like Earth's seven other continents, Zealandia is substantially elevated above the surrounding oceanic crust, exhibits a distinct geology, a well-defined area and a crust thicker than that of the ocean basins.
