The Minerals North Conference that was set to be held in Kitimat this May has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and likely won’t be held this year, Minerals North Conference Association president Andrew Webber said. Kitimat was awarded the 2021 conference in 2019, but Webber said with COVID restrictions still in place, it doesn’t seem like things will be ready in time for the conference in May. “The best way to explain it is like, everything’s on hold,” Webber said.
