Canada's Deadly Diplomacy and Mining Justice in Mexico
February 08, 2018
More than eight years since the murder of Mariano Abarca, an outspoken community leader in Chiapas Mexico, his son, and a group of Mexican human rights defenders are coming to Canada in search of justice. Mariano led his community's struggle against the social and environmental impacts of Canadian company Blackfire Exploration's barite mine.
Join us in solidarity with our Mexican guests for an evening of discussion, shared food, and music. We will also be presenting the Toronto premiere of an interactive political exhibit developed in Mexico presenting photos and text describing the social and environmental impacts of the dramatic development of the Canadian mining industry in Canada and abroad.
Note: This event will happen in two parts. We will all start at 7pm in Room 330, 113 McCaul St., OCAD U, for a panel discussion, then move together across the street to the lobby of the main OCAD U building at 100 McCaul St., where there will be a photo exhibit, refreshments, traditional Mexican food (by Santo Pecado Mexican Catering) and a chance for casual conversation with the delegation members and each other.
Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: 113 McCaul St. Toronto, ON
