Women in Mining and Women in Nuclear Saskatchewan Inc. is pleased to invite you to Mine Your Potential 2019
Early bird pricing ends August 26th. After, Registration $275, Students $100
This year’s opening speakers are from Diamonds in the Rough all-female mine rescue team.
Increasing the number of women in the industry shows many benefits which include an increase of the bottom line, overall workplace wellness, and a positive impact on a safe work environment. These benefits transfer to the area of mine rescue but women remain desperately under represented. So why are we so behind? Diamonds in the Rough, an organization dedication to increasing diversity in this area, hopes to change this through competitions. Their participation in the 2018 International Mines Rescue Competition as the first all-women’s team in this event, may have been the stage to increase diversity in this area.
This year's keynote speaker is: Alicia Woods, Covergalls
Inspired by her female mining experience, creator and founder Alicia Woods caught herself wondering why, with so many women joining unconventional careers, did they wear garments designed for a male’s body type. The reason was simple – they didn’t have a choice. There were no coveralls for women available on the market. This is where the idea for Covergalls Workwear was born. With unique features like rear trap door for easier bathroom break and tailored fit, there finally – is garment designed by women and for women working in the industrial sector. The Covergall is the next step for industries, taking workplace diversity to workplace inclusion.
