The workshop held on October 5, 2006 at St. Gregory's Church Hall introduced participants to the material for this year's education campaingn. The focus is on Canadian mining companies and their actions in the Global South. We are calling for Canadian mining operations to be carried out in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Development and Peace will be inviting people to join them in asking the government to:

• Refuse Canadian government support to mining companies that do not respect international environmental and human rights standards.
• Develop legal mechanisms that ensure mining companies are held accountable for their actions in the Global South.
