2021 Mining Month Virtual Scavenger Hunt

May 3, 2021 @BC Canada

Contest Dates: May 3 - 31, 2021

May 2021 is B.C. Mining Month. Celebrate mining in our province by joining MineralsEd in the 2021 Mining Month Virtual Scavenger Hunt!

Explore five different mining communities across B.C. and learn all about B.C.’s mining heritage and legacy, the different minerals mined in B.C, and mining and the environment. At each stop, participants will be challenged to find information from a variety of interactive online sources and will be given a series of questions to answer.

A prize will be awarded to a participant who completes the scavenger hunt questionnaire at each location. In addition, a grand prize will be awarded to a participant who successfully completes all five scavenger hunts!
