“Rio Tinto is proud to support CSFS in their proactive approach to addressing mental health and providing essential support for young people in the Burns Lake community through the Foundry centre,” says Claudine Gagnon, Community and Social Performance General Manager, Atlantic, at Rio Tinto.

“Rio Tinto is committed to projects that result in long-term outcomes, leaving a positive legacy for the community. The Burns Lake Foundry will undoubtedly serve as a cornerstone for positive change, fostering well-being among youth and their families. We are honoured to be part of this initiative and look forward to its lasting impact.”

In recognition of this invaluable support, CSFS and Rio Tinto will be hosting an Appreciation BBQ on April 12 from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Lakes District Secondary School in Burns Lake.

Community members are invited to join in for food and speeches from CSFS and Rio Tinto, and to learn more about programs and services that will be offered at Foundry.
