Join us for a community panel on Canadian mining companies in Central America
Canadian mining and exploration companies are the major players in the global mining industry, and in Central America , the operations of large Canadian corporations have been linked with serious environmental problems and human rights violations.
 
This event brings together two speaking tours which have been organized in the lead up to the AGM of Vancouver based gold company Goldcorp inc.
