CIM SOCIETIES
A
ll 10 technical societies of CIM are instrumental in helping industry professionals build their knowledge and expertise for the development of Canada’s minerals, metals, materials and petroleum sectors. It is
through various conferences, publications, workshops, awards and scholarships – reinforced by the exceptional support of dedicated volunteer members – that make the societies integral to CIM.
Canadian Mineral Processors (CMP) We integrate all levels of mineral processing from academics and research to construction, operations and downstream processing. Participating in our regional and national events enables extensive networking and knowledge-sharing opportunities across all these areas. We strive to build the know-how and mineral processing wisdom from the time our members are students and onwards into their careers. CMP is CIM’s largest society with almost 1,700 members. Our constituents primarily represent the Canadian mineral processing community; however about 20 per cent of the delegates at our annual conferences is from outside Canada. Our delegates are suppliers (40 per cent), industry professionals (25 per cent), consultants (25 per cent) and 10 per cent academia and government representatives. Activities: 46th Annual Canadian Mineral Processors Operators Conference (see page 20) • Technical meetings held at most of our 12 regional branches. Awards and Scholarships: • Mineral Processor of the Year: Paul Cousin • Bill Moore Special Achievement: Jocelyn Bouchard • Art Macpherson Comminution: Ken Major • Ray Macdonald Volunteer Award: Ernie Marcotte and Edwin Joe

We hope that the next generation of mineral processing excellence has Canadian roots, and that Canadian operations and projects can be seen as positive benchmarks for the industry.
Environment and Social Responsibility Society (ESRS) Our vision is to provide leadership and professional development opportunities as they relate to the social and environmental responsibility and performance of the Canadian mining industry. We encourage leading practices, a culture of responsibility, and enhanced social and environmental performance management of this industry through collaboration with all interested and affected parties. ESRS is made up of a diverse group including managers, scientists, academics, consultants and researchers with operating companies, as well as university and government
