en.Wedoany.com Reported - The City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, announced last month that a site has been selected for the $125 million mine rescue training facility. The city will transfer 151 acres of land to the Ontario Mine Rescue Centre of Excellence project. Representatives held a media event at the site on May 19 to update the public on the latest progress of this mine rescue training center.

The site is located north of Lasalle Boulevard, east of Frood Road, opposite Collège Boréal and the Terry Fox Sports Complex, with access from Frood Road. This land transfer by the City of Greater Sudbury provides a key location for the construction of the mine rescue training center. The 40,000-square-foot facility and its ancillary buildings will be operated by Ontario Mine Rescue, a branch of Workplace Safety North.

Funding for the mine rescue training center comes from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. The center is expected to break ground this summer and open by September 2029. Once operational, it is anticipated that approximately 540 mine rescue and fire emergency personnel will receive training there annually. The City of Greater Sudbury supported the establishment of this mine rescue training center through the land transfer.
