June 15th is International Day for Women in Mining (IDWIM), a global day to celebrate the achievements of women in mining while raising awareness of the need for gender equality action in the mining sector. IDWIM’s 2024 theme is “I am Mining and I Belong”. It carries a powerful message of inclusion, empowerment, claiming space, and advocating for positive change within an industry undergoing transformation. As the mining sector evolves, this phrase serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse individuals who contribute to it and the importance of creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. As an Indigenous owned, heavy construction company working in the mineral exploration, mine development and mining sector, IDWIM resonates deeply for TNDC. It doubles-down our commitment to carving out pathways for women, particularly Tahltan women, providing them with the tools, training and opportunities to grow, develop and ascend within our ranks. This day reinforces our commitment to transforming the mining industry – a field where women have historically been underrepresented. Women continue to make up only 15.9% of the BC Mining workforce and 14% of the Canadian mining workforce (Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) 2024). TNDC has superseded the industry average with 41% of our workforce being female. Our dedication goes beyond mere statistics; it is about fostering a workplace culture that thrives on safety, respect, equality, equity and inclusivity for our female employees. By championing these values, TNDC aims not only to contribute to a more gender-balanced world but also to inspire change within the mining sector and beyond. We are committed to leading by example, demonstrating the powerful impact of equity, inclusion and diversity in driving innovation and success. Our Tahltan HEO Training Program, with its 100% female participation this year, and our Employee HEO Training Program, highlight our dedication to providing the tools, training and opportunities for women, particularly Tahltan women, to thrive and lead.

A recent report reveals that businesses in the mining sector have no more than 20% female representation on their executive committees. This compares to sectors such as transport, health and electricity which report at least 40% female representation, and places the mining sector as one of the worst performing in terms of gender parity.

Happy International Women's day to all women in the mining industry! 👯♀️ And what a fitting week it's been discussing with many women about their achievements in the workplace. In one conversation, my candidate had increased the female workforce from 5 to 15% since working with her company!!! 📈 Encouraging and motivating women to achieve more in a male dominated industry is now the new normal. I hope things continue to look up and up for women not only in mining but across the world 🗺 #iwd2024 #womensday2024 #women #womenempowerment #miningindustry #mining #miningcareers #miningnews

Young women in the mining industry face unique challenges and opportunities as they navigate a traditionally male dominated field. Despite progress in gender diversity and inclusion, women still only make up a small percentage of the workforce in mining. This raises important questions about the barriers young women face in entering and advancing in the industry, as well as the potential benefits of increasing diversity in this sector. while young women in the mining industry face unique challenges, they also have the potential to make a significant impact and drive positive change in the sector. By addressing the barriers to entry and advancement faced by women in mining, companies can create a more diverse and inclusive workforce that is better equipped to address the complex challenges of the industry. #youngwomen #womeninmining #inclusion #diversity #womenaregreat #innovation
