Men of the Deeps - Copper and Fire

This year, The Men of the Deeps the world-renowned choir of working and retired Cape Breton, Nova Scotia coal miners will perform at the BC Museum of Mining in the historic Mill #3 building after Copper and Fire August 10. The concert is made possible through BC150 and Teck Cominco.

“BC150 is about celebrating all of the things that set British Columbia apart – our cultural diversity, achievement and the strength of our communities – and this chorus of coal miners is a fitting addition to BC150,” said Tourism, Sport and the Arts Minister Stan Hagen. “From coal mines to copper mines, large-scale operations to historical mining communities, British Columbia’s mining industry is an important part of our collective history and deserves to be remembered and celebrated.”

The Vancouver-based diversified mining company Teck Cominco is matching the Province’s $50,000 in funding for the Men of the Deeps tour. Teck Cominco is also funding the production of a video, Mining in British Columbia: Its History and Its Future, which will precede each performance, offering audiences a glimpse into the contributions the mining industry has made to British Columbia’s history and how the industry is moving forward in a community-focused, sustainable manner.
