Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (CERH) welcomes Rowland Howe to their Board of Directors. With over 40 years of progressive leadership experience in mining operations, his appointment marks a significant addition to the board. He brings a wealth of industry knowledge and strategic expertise.
Rowland Howe began his career in the British coal industry before advancing his experience with Imperial Chemical Industries at their Salt Mine in the UK. In 1995, he moved to Canada, where he took on the role of Mine Manager at Compass Minerals' Goderich Salt Mine. His deep involvement in the Ontario mining industry includes serving as a board member of the Ontario Mining Association (OMA) and on the OMA Energy Committee.
During his tenure at Compass Minerals, Rowland held a strategic engineering role, managing key projects across the company's divisions until his retirement in November 2016. Following his retirement, he served as President of Atlas Salt (TSX-V SALT), leading the development of a feasibility study for a new salt mine in Newfoundland. He remains an advisor and board member at Atlas Salt.
Rowland also contributed significantly to our local community as a board member of the Alexandria Marine & General Hospital (AMGH) in Goderich for seven years and as a President of the Goderich Port Management Corporation. After stepping down from the port role this summer, he is ready to take his next steps with Gateway CERH's Board of Directors.
