Community Relations 2019 in Review
Hello, Bonjour, Bozhoo!
2019 was a busy year for the Community Relations Team! Together with our stakeholders and community partners, we have fished, golfed, enjoyed a baseball game, come together for our annual BBQ and played a hockey game! We hosted or participated in many events that allowed an opportunity to provide project information and gather feedback from stakeholders.
In addition to actively engaging local community members and partners, GGM invested in social programs that contribute to sustainable community life. Building strong relationships with the host communities of Greenstone is important to us and we are proud of the work we have done.
Look at the work we’ve done together. We look forward to seeing what new journey 2020 brings.
