Tahltan Nation

Galore Creek signed a Participation Agreement with Tahltan in 2006 which we continue to implement today. Our regular technical working sessions ensure alignment, and that Tahltan is heard, informed, and involved through all phases of Project development.

Galore Creek is committed to providing lasting benefits to communities. We actively invest in education and training for Tahltan students, and cultural and language programs for youth.

Community Engagement

Supporting local businesses aligns us with our objectives of supporting the communities in the vicinity of the Project and its larger operational area. Some of our partners and suppliers include:

Tahltan Education Bursaries

Galore Creek is proud to support Tahltan students of all ages in their career training and educational goals. The Galore Creek – Tahltan Bursary Program was established in 2006 by the signing of the Participation Agreement, and in its 19 years has awarded a total of $330,000 to Tahltan members through 210 individual awards. In addition to the Galore Creek – Tahltan Bursary Program, in 2021 Galore Creek established the Ann M Ball Bursary in honour of Ann’s long-standing commitment to the Project, the mining industry and Tahltan Nation. The program opens to applications in September, and successful bursary recipients are announced October 18th, Tahltan Day.

Application Information

Bursary Application

The Galore Creek Mining Corporation offers a number of bursaries to support Tahltan members who wish to pursue post-secondary education. Bursaries are available for university and college programs, and trades at accredited institutions.

Applications are now closed for 2024.

Eligibility

Academic bursaries are granted to students enrolled in a university degree program or university transfer courses (towards a degree program) or a two-year diploma program at a community college.

Trades bursaries are granted to students 18 years and older, enrolled in any accredited post-secondary course or programs (that are not associated with a university degree program). Students younger than 18 may be considered if they are accepted into an accredited trades program. Eligible programs also include BC Adult Graduation Diplomas and General Education Development Certificates.

Bursaries are awarded based on academic achievement, community involvement, as well as educational and career goals. Bursaries are not restricted to educational programs directly related to mining, but special consideration is given to applicants whose career goals relate to the mining industry.

The Ann M Ball Bursary was established in honour of Ann’s contribution to the Galore Creek Project, the mining industry and the Tahltan nation. This Bursary is intended to support Tahltan who are emerging or active leaders within their community, who are pursuing a post-secondary education and endeavor to give back to their community and Nation.

Congratulations to the 2024 Bursary Recipients

Since the signing of the Participation Agreement in 2006, Galore Creek has provided bursaries to advance the education goals of Tahltan Nation, and announces the successful recipients on October 18th, Tahltan Day. With the addition of the Ann M Ball bursary in 2021, in 2024 GCMC awarded a total of $25,000 across 16 bursaries to support Tahltan students.

Between our two bursary programs, we received over 60 applications in 2024. It is always inspiring to see the range of interests and ambitions expressed through the applications that represent the Tahltan community.

We congratulate the following Tahltan students on receiving bursary awards from GCMC and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
