Saint Mary's University has an opportunity to host some of the

to raise awareness through public events as well as meetings with
politicians, businesses, media and power companies. Mining practices around
the world have had a devastating impact on the environment as well as human
rights.
The speakers are part of a maritime-wide tour entitled "Mining the
Connections".
The speakers are:
Jose Manual Chacon (Filochfo) - a nationally revered Guatemalan
political cartoonist who works with Madre Selva, an environmental
organization advising local communities in the San Marcos area
opposing the Glamis Gold mine.
Francisco Ramirez - President of the Colombian Mine Workers'
Union - who has faced five attempts on his life as he responds to
the links between human rights violations and mining interests in
the North-eastern part of Colombia.
Garry Leech - Journalist, editor of Colombia Journal online, and
author of the book Killing Peace: Colombia's Conflict and the
Failure of U.S. Intervention - who has recently moved to Cape Breton
and will be touring throughout the year in support of this campaign.
