City of Kamloops representatives met in Victoria Tuesday with Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett to discuss the Ajax Mine project. Mayor Peter Milobar said they updated Bennett on the city’s resumption of discussions toward a community benefits agreement with mine proponent KGHM. The meeting was a priority for Kamloops among the countless discussions taking place through the week at the UBCM convention in Victoria, the mayor said. “We wanted to make sure that the minister was aware that talks had resumed,” Milobar said. “I think it’s safe to say that he was happy to hear that.”
