TIMMINS – Glenn Dredhart began featuring industrial trade shows in Timmins as far back as the mid 1990s. It was a limited thing, showing off forestry and mining equipment.

Over the years, his company Canadian Trade-Ex has expanded to create a mining show in Timmins that no one in the industry wants to miss: The Big Event Canadian Mining Expo.

This year’s edition takes place May 27 and 28.
