As the landing place for so many of Canada's early settlers, it didn't take long for Nova Scotia's mineral wealth to be uncovered. Nova Scotia's rich coal deposits helped power Britain's hunger for energy during industrialization - and were the backbone of the province's economy for decades. While the economic impacts were positive, these early miners learned many lessons the hardest way. Disasters, like Springhill, saw many miners pay the ultimate price. These conditions spurred labour into action, and improvements in safety, labour standards, and regulatory protections are thanks to these efforts. In many ways, Nova Scotia set the foundation for Canada to become the global gold standard for responsible mining.
"The Sydney Coal Field is a remarkable part of Nova Scotia's geological heritage. Created from ancient Carboniferous forests hundreds of millions of years ago, it became one of Canada's most important coal deposits. The coal mined here helped power industry, support communities, and shape Nova Scotia's economic development for generations." - Anthony Vaccaro, President, The Northern Miner Group.
Tens of thousands of hunters continue their search for the grand prize, alongside the two active regional bonus prizes - Quebec, and Saskatchewan. With the summer months upon us, The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt looks to inspire adventures across mining history in the Maritimes, and beyond.
