The local radio stations were reporting on this ROF highlight. If you were a non member of NOMA, for $450 you would have the ability to be present during the 3 day event which closes today. I guess the radio stations had people present for the presentation.

Today, is the last day of the event. Yesterday Thunder Bay news watch reported:

The meetings continue on Friday, with a mining development panel, a Growth Plan update and a minister’s forum featuring Gravelle, Ministry of Natural Resources Linda Jeffrey and John Milloy, the m minister of training, colleges and university among the Day 3 highlights.

I will see what I can find out about "the discussion with the mining development panel", after today's meeting.
