On July 22, the Toronto ad hoc coalition against open pit mining plans to
hold an awareness-raising event along Bay Street. We will be demonstrating
our support of communities from Turtle Island, Abya Yala, Africa, Asia and
Oceana resisting proposed and ongoing mining operations in which Canadian
companies with listings on the TSX are implicated in environmental
devastation and human rights abuses. We will also be asking Members of
Parliament to support legislation that calls for Canadian mining
corporations to uphold internationally recognized environmental and human
rights standards.

Meanwhile, you can take part in planning the action and in making awareness raising
material. Placard making materials are welcome!

Summary of Event: 
Help plan a global day of solidarity in support of communities that says no to destructive open-pit mining
