Did you know that essential goods like glass windows, matches,聽toothpaste and table salt are all made of minerals? Minerals are聽found in the earth and we have to dig for them. Sometimes, we have to dig very, very, very deep beneath the planet's surface to get the minerals we need. Come learn all about聽the mining industry and the new techniques implemented to reduce its聽negative impacts on the landscape, water resources聽and local wildlife.

In English. No reservation necessary.

Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.
