Smithers has been selected to host the 2026 Minerals North Conference and Trade Show.
The show was held this year in Prince George from April 30th to May 2nd, serving as a venue for establishing business contacts, and a forum for healthy dialogue leading to responsible resource development.
“We are honoured to have been selected to host the Minerals North Conference and Trade Show in 2026,” said Smithers Mayor Gladys Atrill.
“With our deep-rooted history in mining and exploration, our community provides an ideal setting for industry leaders, businesses, and communities to come together.”
Along with the event, there are typically pre-conference tours and workshops, plus education programs in local schools and colleges.
“Smithers was one of the founding communities of Minerals North and has been a five-time host of the conference and trade show—delivering a memorable event each time,” said Cindy Shelford, President of the Minerals North Conference Association.
They hope to connect with local suppliers and non-profit groups to provide services to the conference.
