In British Columbia, a small awards ceremony was held to commend mine operators who continue to monitor and spend on mine reclamation years after the mine has been closed.

These 14 institutions include such renowned museums as the National Gallery, the British Museum, and the Natural History Museum, among others, which together attract tens of millions of visitors each year.
