The Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario are pleased to present the information video Our Community . . . Our Future: Mining and Aboriginal Communities.

Filmed on-site in Northern Ontario, this video takes the viewer from government geological survey work through the entire mining sequence from exploration to the operation and eventual closure and rehabilitation of a mine. It was produced by Natural Resources Canada (Minerals and Metals Sector, and Earth Sciences Sector) and the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines with support from a number of First Nation communities and exploration and mining companies in Ontario.

The governments of Canada and Ontario are committed to helping rural and remote Aboriginal communities become stronger and more prosperous. This video provides Aboriginal peoples with an educational tool that will raise awareness and help them make informed decisions about their participation in minerals and metals activities and new economic opportunities.

The video is available in English, French, Cree, Oji-Cree and Ojibwa. We hope you enjoy it.
