Room: 211
Location:
Vancouver Convention CentreThe spirit of the dialogue
The goal of this dialogue is to gain an understanding of each other and identify our commonalities, so that we create a safe space to hold constructive conversations in the spirit of collaboration. To encourage openness, we will be holding roundtable discussions under the Chatham House Rule.
Participants will be assigned to tables for the discussion portion of our event. Each table will have a moderator and a note taker. Results of the dialogue around the table will be shared with the rest of the group.
The Reconciliation topic
"The residential school experience is one of the darkest, most troubling chapters in our collective history." — Justice Murray Sinclair, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission chairman, in his final remarks on the report.
This Commission for seven years, collected testimonies of more then 6 000 survivors of the aboriginal residential schools’ system across the country. The Commission published its report on December 2015. Of 94 Call for actions in the report, many touched education or justice, culture, wellbeing of children, etc. Only one call for action regards businesses, this is #92:
"We call upon the corporate sector in Canada to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a reconciliation framework and to apply its principles, norms, and standards to corporate policy and core operational activities involving Indigenous peoples and their lands and resources. This would include, but not be limited to, the following:
- Commit to meaningful consultation, building respectful relationships, and obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before proceeding with economic development projects.
- Ensure that Aboriginal peoples have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities in the corporate sector, and that Aboriginal communities gain long-term sustainable benefits from economic development projects. iii.
- Provide education for management and staff on the history of Aboriginal peoples, including the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal–Crown relations. This will require skills based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and anti-racism. "
The “call for actions” are solutions that can help reconciliation and to do this, the Annual Multi Stakeholders Dialogue Workshop will focus on approaches that the mining industry could apply to be part of the solutions.

ESG Solutions / Spectris Advance Workshop: Fleet asset failure and reliability – what have we learned?
ESG Solutions / Spectris Advance Workshop: Fleet asset failure and reliability – what have we learned?
Room: 203
Location:
Vancouver Convention CentreFleet and fixed equipment failure prognostics, predictive maintenance, and reliability optimization – these have become trendy concepts in mining. However, decades of experience building an understanding of these from the science and engineering – and deploying them in a range of industries, from aerospace to ground vehicles, mining and more – yields a set of lessons more relevant for today than ever before. These include how to best leverage analytical technology like machine learning (“IT”, Information Technology): as a layer to automate, iterate and refine the science (“OT”, Operational Technology), which forms the foundation.
Come join a lively discussion led by our speaker Adam Mettas, Vice President of Business Development at HBM Prenscia. Adam is a renowned expert in reliability tools and methods with 20 years of experience in the field, researching, lecturing, designing and implementing Reliability and Asset Performance Management solutions worldwide. To date, he has over 35 publications, co-authored 4 books, and trained more than 2,000 engineers in reliability methods. His experience spans different industries, including Mining, Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Automotive, Defense and Aerospace, and for clients such as Ma’aden, Chevron, FORD Motor Company, VOLVO Cars, and XEROX.
HBM Prenscia is a part of Spectris plc (a +10,000 staff, +$2bn group headquartered in London, UK), and a core contributor to Spectris Advance Mining – a unified Spectris-wide suite of best in class, proven monitoring and predictive analytics solutions and expertise for mine and mill. Spectris Advance Mining is brought to the industry by ESG Solutions, also a part of Spectris plc and a leading provider of technology/services to mining for 25 years.
Refreshments will be served.
