The Travelling
Adventures of
the BC TRCR
Historically, the Mine Reclamation Symposium returned
year after year to the Vernon Lodge in Vernon, B.C.
Over time, however, the variety of Mine Reclamation
Symposium field trips have become one of the main
draws for attendees and highlight best practices in
reclamation. Accordingly, the conference has moved
all over the province in pursuit of new experiences for
its delegates (host cities are listed below with field trips
over the past decade noted in parentheses).
