Supporting Our Communities
Hecla and our employees strengthen our communities and our company by partnering and contributing in a meaningful way to the economic and social well-being of our host communities.
Hecla’s Responsible Actions / Community Engagement
Hecla Quebec and the Council of the Abitibiwinni First Nation signed a Cooperation Agreement
We value our relationships with the Indigenous Peoples in the communities where we operate.
Investing in our Communities through Education
Trade jobs will continue to be important in the future, and that is why Hecla has created programs and job site visits to educate students in middle and high school about mining careers and to help in their pursuit of higher education.
More Than Jobs: Going Above and Beyond to Invest in Our Communities
Hecla is often among the largest private-sector employers in the rural areas where our mines are located.
Safety: Educate Others
Hecla’s Corporate Director of Safety and Health, Michael Wegleitner, brings the safety message home and to nearby schools.
Hecla Gives Back – Company Recognized by ALS Association for its Fundraising Efforts
When Cindy Moore, a chief engineer at Hecla, was diagnosed with ALS in 2010, she immediately began fundraising for the ALS Association’s Evergreen Chapter and became a tireless advocate against this terrible disease.
Safety: Take it Home
Hecla geologist Jonathan Moore was working in his yard with his two young children. He regularly demonstrates to them how Hecla teaches him to stay safe.
Treating You Like Neighbors, Because We Are Your Neighbors
