Memorial University Dean's Research Partner Award
Raglan Mine's Closure Plan Subcommittee brings home the Dean's Research Partner Award!
Memorial University's Dean's Research Partner Award recognizes individuals or organizations that have made a significant contribution to a Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences research project.
The Raglan Mine Closure Plan Subcommittee has significantly supported research, training and engagement activities of Memorial-based faculty and graduate students. [Its work] advances novel approaches to mine closure and reclamation planning that integrates the perspectives and experiences of mine-affected communities, particularly Inuit communities whose lands host mining operations. Working with the sub-committee has resulted in a truly reciprocal and generative partnership with Memorial faculty.
Although the mine is expected to remain operational for several more decades, the Subcommittee was launched to establish and maintain a dialogue with our Inuit partners and to incorporate the communities' traditional knowledge into the closure plan.
