Britannia Beach: Teck donates $1M to BC Museum of Mining
The B.C. Museum of Mining in Britannia Beach is built on what was once the largest copper mine in the British Commonwealth – but it struck gold this week.
Teck Resources Limited, Canada’s largest mining company, has donated $1 million to the Museum for its three-phase redevelopment, the Britannia Project, which aims to transform the historic mining site into a vibrant internationally recognized destination.
“On behalf of everyone at Teck, we are pleased to be able to support the BC Museum of Mining and the terrific work that it does,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO of Teck Resources. “The museum plays a vital role in preserving the history of mining in B.C. and educating the public about the incredibly important contribution that responsible mining makes to people’s lives.”
