Welcome message from Marie Lemay - CEO Royal Canadian Mint
It is a great pleasure and privilege to have the Royal Canadian Mint host the 31st International Mint Directors Conference (MDC) in Ottawa Canada.
Steeped in history, the Royal Canadian Mint facility in Ottawa is where our team produces world-renowned numismatic coins, medals and bullion products. Our plant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is where our foreign and domestic circulation coins are struck.
When we meet in 2023, it will have been five long years since the last MDC conference and we are looking forward to share, collaborate and learn together face-to-face.
The 2023 Conference will focus on sustainability and future readiness as the coin ecosystem evolves to meet the changing demands. We are working on putting together a vibrant and complete program that will help us look at the evolution of minting today, to help create a better tomorrow.
Please stay tuned as we continue to share information with you over the coming months. In the meantime, mark your calendars for October 15-18, 2023, when the minting world comes together, once again, in Canada’s capital.
