SUMMARY:Join us for Technical Presentation: Guide to Quebec’s New ‘Impact’ Exploration Authorizations
DESCRIPTION:Émile Cloutier-Brassard\, Mining Analyst\, will present an overview of Quebec’s new Impact Exploration Authorization process at the 80th CDDA AGM and Convention in Quebec May 25-27\, 2025. \nOn May 6\, 2024\, a regulatory amendment to the Regulation respecting mineral substances other than petroleum\, natural gas and brine came into force in the province of Quebec. The purpose of this regulatory amendment is to better take into account the concerns of populations affected by “impact” exploration work. \nOriginally from Abitibi\, Québec’s renowned mining region\, Émile Cloutier-Brassard holds a Bachelor’s degree in Geological Engineering. He has gained nearly two years of hands-on experience in mineral exploration and active mine operations. Currently\, Émile leads mining-related initiatives at Eau Secours and serves on the coordination committee of the Québec Meilleure Mine Coalition. \nPassionate about the intersection of mining\, society\, and the environment\, Émile is dedicated to analyzing and raising awareness about the social and environmental impacts of mining. His work focuses on promoting systemic changes in how we plan\, explore\, extract\, and consume natural resources—striving for a mining sector that is responsive to society’s essential needs\, respects planetary boundaries\, and considers the voices of local communities affected by development. \nThere’s still time to register to join us for this event; register at: https://www.cdda.ca/convention-registration/

Patrick will deliver a presentation that resonates with all attendees. \nPatrick Leroux CSP HoF believes that any person or organization has an extraordinary potential for success and is RESPONSIBLE for his destiny. He also believes that if a person or an organization wants to get superior results\, it has to be a better LEADER\, take more INITIATIVES\, be UNIQUE\, absolutely STEP OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE and DARE to do things that their competition is not willing to do. \nSuccessful entrepreneur\, business coach and best-selling author of ten books on sales on personal and professional development\, Patrick Leroux works with organizations that want to optimize the engagement and the performance of their teams. Patrick’s presentations offer solid\, simple and original ideas and are renowned to be dynamic\, funny\, moving\, and captivating. \nBilingual speaker\, Patrick’s ability to deliver a high energy message with passion and humor challenges people to re-evaluate their own limitations\, real or imagined\, to take responsibility for their RESULTS they get\, and to stop making EXCUSES as to why they are not living-up to their true capacity. \nStoryteller extraordinaire\, Patrick shares his expertise with warmth and amazing simplicity. Like a roller coaster ride\, his stories are at times moving and at times hilarious. Patrick’s incredible energy level\, humor and enthusiasm will compel our CDDA members to take more responsibility\, more initiatives\, to become better leader\, to go out their comfort zone\, take action on their goals\, instill confidence\, and ultimately improve their bottom line. \nIn 2015\, at the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS) convention\, Patrick Leroux CSP HoF was named as the 2015 inductee to the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame recognizes speakers both for their excellence as professional speakers and for their contribution to the profession.
