Editorial Teaching teachers From Triangle, a publication of Inco’s

At least that’s the thinking of almost 40 school teachers who took part in an all-day program of Inco tours and information sessions.

The teachers, most of whom are from southern Ontario, were not only impressed by the sophistication and scope of modern mining, but by the pride in their jobs expressed by the Inco people with whom they talked.

One teacher, who struck up a conversation with an underground equipment operator, was “amazed” at the knowledge and pride displayed by the miner.

Many also were surprised at the size of Sudbury and what it had to offer. They expected a small, northern community with few amenities.

Perhaps the most impressive for many of the teachers was the extent of Inco’s environmental efforts.

“I don’t understand why Inco is put in a position of having to apologize for its existence,” said one teacher. “Now we in southern Ontario have environmental problems that must be addressed first before we can talk about anyone else.”
