B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Association: Glen Paul

Glen Paul: Paul says he didn't start his training with a specific plan to end up in the mining industry, but there he was at the New Afton project near Kamloops, which at the time was still two years away from full production, according to CTV. "It was slightly overwhelming, because I've never been to a mine before, I've never seen one," says Paul, 24, who grew up on the Kamloops Indian Band reserve and was connected to the job through the B.C. Aboriginal Mine Training Association and VANCOUVER -- Glen Paul still remembers his first week on the job at a copper-gold mine in British Columbia's Interior -- a position, he says, he landed three years ago as a "fluke" after taking a course to operate heavy machinery. By his second day, he was standing underground for an orientation of the mine site. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
