In fact, in 2015 companies head-quartered in Canada were among the leading investors in Africa, with exploration expenditures of about USD $260 million and about CAD $31 billion in assets, an increase of 16 percent over 2014. Canada has long been recognized as a global mining leader. More than half of all equity raised for mining is raised on the Toronto and Toronto Venture exchanges. Beyond this, Canada’s strong reputation in mining is also built on a solid foundation of innovation, environmental stewardship, local economic development and corporate social responsibility. Canadians recognize the need to develop mineral resources in ways that support environmental stewardship. Creating new partnerships and investing in clean technology and innovation are central to those efforts. Sustainable mining, in turn, helps to promote economic activity and reduce poverty. Indeed, Canada sees mining playing a critical role in helping to meet the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. In order to maximize economic benefits for host countries, it is important to engage meaningfully with local communities, including women, youth, and Indigenous peoples. That is why the Government of Canada continues to work with local governments, civil society, the private sector, and community stakeholders to support strong resource governance. In addition, together with local partners, Canadian mining companies are creating opportunity and promoting economic development, meeting the highest standards of environmental protection, and respecting human rights. Canada is proud that our companies and industry associations continue to be recognized globally for their leadership in ethical, social, and environmental practices. Visit the Canada Pavilion to discover more about Canada’s expertise in sustainable mineral resource development. On behalf of the Government of Canada, I wish all of the delegates a successful and productive conference. Honourable Jim Carr Minister of Natural Resources Government of Canada 4 THE OFFICIAL CANADIAN DELEGATION CANADA PAVILION CCAFRICA.CA WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE CANADIAN COUNCIL ON AFRICA Dear participant, On behalf of the Canadian Council on Africa (CCAfrica), I welcome you to the Canada Pavilion at 2017 Mining Indaba. In partnership with Global Affairs Canada and Natural Resources Canada, we are excited to be leading the Official Canadian Delegation to 2017 Mining Indaba. This event would not be possible without the support of our partners, including 48e Nord International, Canadian Association of Mining Equipment and Services for Export (CAMESE), Export Development Canada (EDC), Export Québec, The Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), The Mining Association of Canada (MAC), and Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC). We would also like to thank our sponsors and delegates who have joined the Canada Pavilion. Last year, the Pavilion hosted 80 delegates; this year, it will be hosting over 100. Your participation strengthens Canada’s presence at Mining Indaba and has established Canada as a key player within responsible resource development in Africa. Establishing a Canadian business presence in Africa based on responsible resource development, is essential to driving sustainable economic growth and development in both Canada and the continent of Africa. Business partnerships between Canada and the continent of Africa are growing. In the last five years, Export Development Canada helped to facilitate more than $7.4 billion in business between Canadian companies and the continent of Africa. In 2011, Canadian companies had mining assets of over $31.6 billion in Africa. Natural Resource development is one of the vital contributors of economic development. The success of the Canada Pavilion has demonstrated that businesses in Canada are key partners, committed to responsible and sustainable natural resource development in Africa. As a premium sponsor of Mining Indaba since 2000, the Canada Pavilion hosts numerous networking events and programs for participants. These events encourage participants to build business partnerships; promote their services and technologies; and learn more about mining in Africa. I am excited that the Canada Pavilion is a place where Canadian businesses can be a part of the large Canadian presence at 2017 Mining Indaba. It is your space to network, hold meetings, and connect with other key partners. Since our creation 14 years ago, CCAfrica remains the only pan-Canadian and national organization dedicated to promoting trade and economic development between Canada and the continent of Africa. With offices from coast to coast, our network includes members from every sector of the Canadian economy, representing both the private and public spheres. CCAfrica organizes trade missions, seminars, conferences and networking events for our members. In 2016, CCAfrica renewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Natural Resources Canada to coordinate and lead the Official Canadian Delegation to Mining Indaba. This agreement strengthens the Official Canadian presence at Mining Indaba and promotes Canadian leadership in the sustainable extraction of natural resources in Africa. Once again, we thank you for making the Canada Pavilion a success and we look forward to another great year at 2017 Mining Indaba.
