Hosted by Acting Mine General Manager Rory Greyvensteyn and Aboriginal Affairs Manager Shannin Metatawabin, Minister Bentley toured the process plant, the Victor pit and the office and accommodation complex. The Minister also met with a number of employees from Attawapiskat and other First Nation communities from the James Bay coast during his visit, which concluded with a Question and Answer session in the teepee built by Victor Mine employees.
