Learning Together

Sharing knowledge and learning are important for THEP to access innovative science and programming. Not only does it help THEP stay up-to-date with the latest advancements, but it also benefits other communities facing similar challenges.

THEP values relationships it has formed in B.C. and internationally and regularly hosts or attends meetings and events to learn from, and with, others striving for healthy communities in areas influenced by smelter (and mining) air emissions.

THEP is developing an international community of practice.
