On June 25, Cambrian College was the first stop for seven delegates visiting Canada from CVRD's corporate offices in Brazil. According to Fred Stanford, President of Ontario Operations at CVRD Inco, the visit is part of an initiative designed to familiarize CVRD employees with company operations in Canada and to highlight key relationships with community partners.

The guests included:
Antonio Sergio, General Manager of Program & Production Control
Vagner Loyola, General Manager of Mineral Processes Development, (Ferrous)
Lucio Cavalli, General Manager of Strategic Planning (Ferrous)
Marcelo Barros, Director of EFVM (Railway) Operations (Logistics)
Leonardo Dallorto, General Manager of Overseas Projects
Silmar Silva, Director of Ferrous Operations Southeast
Desie Rebeiro, Representative, Human Resources Department

Accompanying the group during the visit were Mr. Stanford as well as Brian Maynard, VP Mining, and Jacqueline Neves, Planning Engineer, from CVRD Inco in Sudbury.

As she welcomed the group, Cambrian President Sylvia Barnard spoke about the long and mutually beneficial partnership that Cambrian has had with Inco Limited. "We look forward to continuing this strong relationship with CVRD Inco and to exploring opportunities to further support CVRD Inco's global operations." President Barnard then led the group on a tour of a variety of Mining and Trades related classrooms and labs and provided a brief demonstration of the College's eDome facilities.

Before returning to Brazil, the group will be visiting a number of other CVRD Inco sites, including operations in Thompson, Manitoba.
