Mining is among Canada’s most important economic sectors, having contributed 5% of the nation’s nominal GDP and employed 692,000 individuals across 115 communities in 2020. According to the Mining Association of Canada, the industry is also the largest private-sector employer of Indigenous people, accounting for over 16,500 Indigenous workers. As the global economy transitions toward a net-zero future, Canada’s mineral wealth and capacity for manufacturing electric vehicles (EVs) from start to finish are expected to create favorable conditions for the mining sector.
