About Us
Our Story
Founded in 2016, the Laurentian Mine Rescue Club has been dedicated to equipping engineering students with critical safety training and practical knowledge of mine rescue. The club provides valuable insight into the mining industry, fosters a strong appreciation for industry professionals, and promotes the development of leadership and teamwork skills. Through these experiences, members are prepared to contribute meaningfully to both their academic and professional journeys.
Our Community
Sudbury has a proud history built on mining. From its earliest days, the city has grown and thrived alongside the mining industry, which continues to play a central role in the region’s identity and economy. Mining has not only shaped the landscape but has also created opportunities for innovation, education, and community development. Today, it remains one of Sudbury’s most important industries, supporting local families and fostering a strong connection between the people and the resources that sustain them.
Club Features
The Laurentian Mine Rescue Club meets for weekly training sessions. These practices give students the chance to build essential skills in first aid, rope work, and firefighting, while also gaining hands-on experience with the Dräger BG4 breathing apparatus. Beyond technical training, members focus on teamwork and communication—skills that are just as important in mine rescue as they are in professional engineering careers. Each practice is designed to strengthen both individual ability and group coordination, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges of the mining industry.
