Bring it to the Surface Speaker Bring it to the Surface Speaker
1:15 pm - 2:15 pm
At the Eastern Safety Meeting on December 4, 2024, in North Bay, Ontario, Clint Gore introduced himself to CDDA members as a new representative of the Bring It to the Surface initiative. This industry-wide initiative aims to raise awareness, inspire action, and share valuable resources for mental health and wellness within the diamond drilling and exploration sectors. During the safety meeting, Clint shared his personal journey as a lifelong seeker who turned struggles into strengths by confronting anxiety, depression, and addiction. After hitting rock bottom at the age of 35, he experienced a profound awakening that compelled him to face his fears and rebuild his life from scratch. Through this transformative experience, Clint embraced mindfulness, established healthy routines, and discovered a new sense of self-worth that changed everything. At the 80th CDDA AGM and Convention, Clint will continue the conversation to foster conversations that inspire meaningful, lasting changes in the lives of our members.
