The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame at the Elliot Lake Mining Museum<\/h6>\n

The Hall forms part of the Mining Museum in the Lester B. Pearson Civic Centre on Highway 108 in Elliot Lake, about 25 km north of Highway 17, halfway between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie.<\/p>\n

Elliot Lake, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005, took its place in Canadian mining history in the Cold War era around 1950, when uranium was an important strategic mineral, and the Canadian government posted a reward for a commercial discovery of the metal.\u00a0Franc Joubin<\/a>\u00a0made such a discovery near Blind River, financed in part by\u00a0Joseph Hirshhorn<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 now both members of The Hall. The town of Elliot Lake was built for the people developing and operating the mines in the area. Five other members of The Hall played a role in the Elliot Lake development, and their photos and achievements are featured in the display.<\/p>\n

The 12 large mines that produced uranium for use in the generation of electrical power in Canada and around the world are now closed and decommissioned with few traces visible to the casual viewer. The town, known widely as \u201cA Jewel in the Wilderness\u201d with a population of 12,000, is now a retirement community, centre for the arts and a tourist destination both winter and summer. The Mining Hall of Fame and Museum is one of several attractions in the town (see the\u00a0City of Elliot Lake website<\/a>\u00a0for more information).[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”boxes-pic” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Dosis||||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_line_height=”24px” header_4_font=”Dosis|700|||||||” header_4_text_align=”center” header_4_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_4_font_size=”22px” header_4_line_height=”32px” background_image=”https:\/\/mininghalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/BritanniaMine-1024×683-1.jpg” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”30px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”80px||80px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The Canadian Mining Hall of Fame at the Britannia Mine Museum<\/h6>\n

The Britannia Mine Museum was established in 1971 to preserve the history of mining in British Columbia and educate the public about mining.\u00a0 In September 2010 the first phase of a multi-million dollar redevelopment project was unveiled.\u00a0 Thanks to funding from Teck Resources Limited, it includes a Canadian Mining Hall of Fame exhibit that features the Hall\u2019s inductees \u2013 the people who make mining happen \u2013 as well as videos highlighting the everyday products that are the raison d\u2019etre of the mining industry.<\/p>\n

Pearson Civic Centre on Highway 108 in Elliot Lake, about 25 km north of Highway 17, halfway between Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie.\r\n\r\nElliot Lake, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2005, took its place in Canadian mining history in the Cold War era around 1950, when uranium was an important strategic mineral, and the Canadian government posted a reward for a commercial discovery of the metal.\u00a0Franc Joubin<\/a>\u00a0made such a discovery near Blind River, financed in part by\u00a0Joseph Hirshhorn<\/a>\u00a0- now both members of The Hall. The town of Elliot Lake was built for the people developing and operating the mines in the area. Five other members of The Hall played a role in the Elliot Lake development, and their photos and achievements are featured in the display.\r\n\r\nThe 12 large mines that produced uranium for use in the generation of electrical power in Canada and around the world are now closed and decommissioned with few traces visible to the casual viewer. The town, known widely as \u201cA Jewel in the Wilderness\u201d with a population of 12,000, is now a retirement community, centre for the arts and a tourist destination both winter and summer. The Mining Hall of Fame and Museum is one of several attractions in the town (see the\u00a0City of Elliot Lake website<\/a>\u00a0for more information).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][dfd_spacer screen_wide_resolution=\"1280\" screen_wide_spacer_size=\"50\" screen_normal_resolution=\"1024\" screen_tablet_resolution=\"800\" screen_mobile_resolution=\"480\" screen_normal_spacer_size=\"50\" screen_tablet_spacer_size=\"50\" screen_mobile_spacer_size=\"50\"][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=\".vc_custom_1535647354371{background: rgba(221,221,221,0.01) url(https:\/\/mininghalloffame.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/BritanniaMine-1024x683-1.jpg?id=1310) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;*background-color: rgb(221,221,221) !important;}\"][dfd_spacer screen_wide_resolution=\"1280\" screen_wide_spacer_size=\"100\" screen_normal_resolution=\"1024\" screen_tablet_resolution=\"800\" screen_mobile_resolution=\"480\" screen_normal_spacer_size=\"50\" screen_tablet_spacer_size=\"50\" screen_mobile_spacer_size=\"50\"][dfd_heading style=\"style_05\" title_font_options=\"tag:h5\" subtitle_font_options=\"tag:h3|color:%23ffffff\" subtitle=\"1 Forbes Way, Britannia Beach, BC V0N 1J0 - (800) 896-4044\"]\r\n
