The Canadian Centre for Raw Materials Display Inc. (CaCeRMDI) and the Canadian Raw Materials Council (CRMC) are two distinct but complementary entities working together to advance Canada’s raw materials sector. While they may appear closely connected—and even share this website—their missions, audiences, and areas of focus differ in important ways.
🔷 The Canadian Centre for Raw Materials Display Inc. (CaCeRMDI)
CaCeRMDI is a federal not-for-profit corporation dedicated to the public display, promotion, and awareness of Canada’s raw materials. These include mineral, agricultural, and fossil resources found across the provinces and territories.
At its core, CaCeRMDI is community-driven and public-facing. Through interactive programs like the International Conference and Exhibition on Raw Materials (ICERMs), essay competitions, school outreach, and business networking events, CaCeRMDI connects Canadians and international guests with the economic potential of Canada’s natural resources.
Whether you’re a student, entrepreneur, policymaker, or curious visitor, CaCeRMDI helps you discover the wealth and versatility of raw materials in shaping Canada’s economy and sustainable development.
🔹 The Canadian Raw Materials Council (CRMC)
CRMC, on the other hand, is a professional and advisory body dedicated to building a network of experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. It focuses on:
- Thought leadership and strategic guidance
- Professional development and standards
- Publications, policy input, and technical advisory
- Membership induction of professionals and specialists
CRMC plays a key role in shaping the national conversation around the responsible use, innovation, and management of Canada’s raw materials. It offers professionals a platform for recognition, collaboration, and influence in the future of the sector.
🤝 How They Work Together
While CaCeRMDI raises awareness and promotes broad engagement through events and outreach, CRMC provides the technical backbone and professional insight needed to support informed policy, innovation, and investment.
Together, they help:
- Bridge the gap between public education and professional expertise
- Foster youth engagement while promoting industry leadership
- Promote Canada as a global hub for raw materials understanding and utilization
