Nunavut Mining Symposium Hall of Fame
In 2016 we launched the NMS Hall of Fame to showcase excellence in Mining in Nunavut. This Hall Of Fame showcases all previous winners of the Mining Awards. We're always looking for feedback to make this showcase even better as well as we encourage you to nominate a person or a company who fits the criteria for induction in to the NMS Hall Of Fame.
About the Nunavut Mining Awards
The NMS Awards are the only awards to recognize excellence in the mining and exploration industry in Nunavut. Each year, three awards are considered for review in the categories of Corporate, Individual and Government. The awards are handed out during the Nunavut Mining Symposium in front of the peers and colleagues of those being honoured. They are the only awards to recognize excellence in the mining and exploration industry in Nunavut. Nominations are sought from, and made by, those in the mining and exploration industry and each nomination is reviewed by the Nunavut Mining Symposium Society Steering Committee.
The criteria for each award is as follows:
-
To recognize an individual who has made significant contribution to the mining industry in Nunavut.
To recognize outstanding progress by a Nunavut employee in the mining industry.
To recognize student/school involvement in the mining industry.
-
To recognize the contribution of a mining, exploration, or related company to the economic/social development of a community, region or Nunavut in general.
-
To recognize the contribution of a government department, group, or organization to the advancement of the mining industry in Nunavut.
Can be presented to any level of government - Municipal, Territorial, Federal or Inuit.
