Marvellous Metals Magazine
About The Project
A primary purpose of the Historical Metallurgy Standing Committee is to promote the recording of Canadian achievements in the mining and metallurgical sector.
The Historical Metallurgy Standing Committee of MetSoc sees value in using comic (graphic art) and magazine format to share some of Canada’s best mining and metallurgy stories with children aged 7-14 years from all regions.
Goal
The goal of the Marvellous Metals Magazine is to give children aged 7-14 an appreciation of Canada’s leadership and accomplishments in the Mining and Metals industries and raise awareness of the importance of metals and minerals in our daily lives. This will inspire young Canadians to pursue a career in the sector and develop a favourable perception of the metal and minerals sector.
Sponsorship opportunities are available.
