A Monopoly-like game is played by hundreds of Sudbury students to find out details of the many jobs and careers available in mining supply, mining exploration, mining production and mining education
Hundreds of Sudbury-area secondary school students got a hands-on opportunity Wednesday to find out how the mining industry is an economic driver for Northeastern Ontario, as well as being a source of job opportunities.
Nicole Tardif, the program co-ordinator at the Goodman School, is the game inventor and main organizer of Wednesday's event. She explained what the students had to do. Tardif said the game gives the students an idea of the many facets of the mining industry and the job opportunities out there. She said the game was taken on the road last year to Thunder Bay, Timmins and North Bay, and proved popular.
