Xstrata Nickel will contribute $100,000 to Laurentian University in order to permanently endow the Xstrata Nickel Memorial Lecture Series.
The university will match this amount with funds from the Falconbridge Lecture trust account.
The Falconbridge Lectures were established in 1978 with donations made by Falconbridge, its employees and families and friends in memory of five employees who died in an aircraft accident.
The inaugural Xstrata Nickel Memorial Lecture will be held Thursday, March 22, 2007. The featured speaker will be Roberta Bondar, Canada’s first woman in space and internationally renowned neurologist.
