Local mining exec named to Hall of Fame

The Sudbury Area Mining Supply and Service Association (SAMSSA) honoured Roy Slack, President of Cementation Canada Inc., as the organization’s 2018 Hall of Fame inductee during its Annual 2018 meeting held last week in Sudbury.

Roy has been instrumental as a service provider to the mining sector for over 35 years, much of that time spent in the Sudbury and North Bay regions. 

Slack says that “being recognized by my peers within SAMSSA, the greatest conglomeration of mining service providers in the world is truly a great honour.

“I fell in love with building mines, and then building companies to build mines. The process from concept to design to completion, and the people who do the work, I am still in awe of. Our industry, the mine service industry, continues to strive to make our work safe and efficient so more of our Clients can realize their dreams of having an operating mine. We just want to realize our dream of building it for them.”

Cementation is a mine and facilities contracting and engineering company with its Canadian headquarters in North Bay.
