MEGLAB AND ITS PARTNERS DONATE $24,200 TO THE QUEBEC BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION
In order to support the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation, Meglab invited mining companies to purchase electrical power equipment bearing the organization’s colors. Canadian Malartic Mine Partnership’s Odyssey Mine, Osisko Mining’s Windfall Mine and Eldorado Gold Quebec’s Lamaque Mine accepted the invitation. Parts suppliers and other partners have also expressed interest in contributing to the #minerose initiative.
“It is always with the desire to make a difference for the community that we came with the idea to offer our customers and suppliers to contribute on the production of pink equipment and, doing so, making a donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s a way to highlight the importance of women in our industry. We were pleasantly surprised by the response and we exceeded our goal for that first edition.”
– Kim Valade, General Manager of Meglab
For the 2021 campaign, the objective was to raise $10,000. In the end, $19,200 was received from customers and suppliers. Meglab had committed to donate $5,000 if the goal was reached, so a total of $24,200 will be used to support the efforts of the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
