Hedley Mascot Mine Progress Report
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
As the Project Coordinator of the Hedley Mascot Mine & Chuchuwayha Hall I would like to share an update for everyone to see how Heritage Works has assisted USIB in the work being done at the Mascot Mine. I have been working closely with Gord and Ben since coming into this position, and I am so excited to see what else we will accomplish this spring. Work will pick back up as soon as weather allows, and I will continue to update everyone throughout the project! Thank you for following along.
