Bringing Workers and Employers Together

Canadian mining activity has created many jobs across the country both directly in the sector and in industries that support the mining sector. The mining industry currently employs 363,000 Canadians in mineral extraction and in the value-added smelting, fabrication, and manufacturing areas.

Rapid growth in Canada's mining industry in recent years has led to some challenges for the industry in terms of attracting workers. With a 40-percent retirement rate and new deposits being discovered regularly, thousands of additional workers will be needed each year to meet anticipated Canadian production targets to the year 2016.
