# Hillcrest Mine Disaster - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `hillcrestminedisaster.com` ## Description The Hillcrest Mine Disaster brand serves as a poignant reminder of one of Canada’s most tragic industrial accidents that occurred on June 19, 1914. This disaster, which claimed the lives of 189 miners, fundamentally altered the village of Hillcrest and remains a largely forgotten chapter in Canadian history. The majority of those lost were immigrants from various countries, including Great Britain, France, and Italy, who had come to Canada seeking better opportunities. The brand focuses on preserving the memory of these miners and raising awareness about their often-overlooked stories. Through extensive research, researchers Mary Bole and Belle Kovach have dedicated three years to uncover detailed accounts of the miners’ origins, family backgrounds, and the aftermath of the disaster, including the compensation awarded to the widows and children left behind. By engaging the community and offering information and commemorative resources, the Hillcrest Mine Disaster brand seeks to ensure that the legacy of these brave men is never forgotten. ## Industries - 🧪 Science and Education - 🧪 History _(under Science and Education)_ - 🎗 Community and Society ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Tundora | #4d4d4d | dark | | White | #ffffff | light | ## Fonts - Times New Roman — asset _(custom)_ - Times New Roman — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
