Each year the Canadian Mining Games are held at participating mining engineering universities across Canada. This year teams of 12 students from each university compete in 25 events from Feb. 19 to 21.

Events are located at various venues throughout Saskatoon. An event schedule can be found at: http://www.canadianmininggames.com

The event is considered mining's version of the NHL Top Prospects Game and is used by sponsors to network with future graduates and observe them interacting and competing with their peers.
