A research project is hoping to provide some help for the mining industry in the region.
The Northwest Training and Adjustment Board is teaming up with the Mining Industry Human Resources Council to forecast labour market needs.
The difficulty attracting younger workers, the under representation of Aboriginal Peoples and the looming retirement are all challenges for the growing industry.
Executive Director of the board Sonja Wainio will be getting a forecast in the Kenora and Rainy River Districts.
