Alaska Women in Mining Kinross Women’s Day events
Photos Courtesy Kinross Alaska Kinross Alaska celebrated International Women’s Day recently with a special gold pour for the ladies across the site. For almost all of the women, it was their first chance to see a gold pour. The MEM team painted a shovel bowl purple to honor the day and to be a constant reminder of International Women’s Day. Each Alaska sire held a brunch for all employees to discuss equality in the workplace. The mine leadership team talked about how women’s rights and influence have changed over the years, and several departments created auction baskets for a silent auction, where all proceeds will benefit the Farthest North Girl Scout Chapter in Fairbanks. Kinross Alaska wrapped up a a donation drive for the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living (women’s shelter) at the end of March.
