If Anne Johnson — assistant professor in the Department of Mining at Queen's University — has a singular passion, it is encouraging attitudes of humility and openness to learning about different cultures, or "intercultural competence," among the undergraduate and graduate mining engineers she helps prepare for work and life beyond university.

A proposed gold mine on the outskirts of Dryden could be the next operating mine in northwestern Ontario.
The Goliath Gold project, owned by Treasury Metals, could have construction begin by 2020 or 2021. It would take up to two years to construct the open pit mine, which would eventually become an underground operation.
"I'm pretty excited to get to that stage where things will start moving, and seeing what we've designed and what we've talked about for years, coming into fruition and supporting the community," said Mac Potter, the environmental superintendent for Treasury Metals.

Ron Stroh will be watching crews dig up dirt at the edge of his Elmira farm.
The chemical factory that borders his farm tainted the soil there years ago. This was only discovered in 2017 when soil tests found toxins exceeding Ontario farm standards.

Janice Martell hasn't given up on the group of northern Ontario men she calls her miners.
She continues to collect documentation and research to prove the dust they were exposed to was toxic.
Four years ago the Sudbury woman began a quest to find out if McIntyre Powder, used in underground mining, was connected to health problems some miners, like her father, were experiencing. The substance was used from the 1940s until 1979. Workers were told they needed to inhale the powder before their shifts underground to help protect them from silicosis, an incurable lung disease.
