[Ost-announce] Fri, Nov. 21: State of Mine Launch (first EDSII event)

[Macdonald Stainsby]

State of Mine launch

Canadian mining and exploration companies have created conflict from
Northern BC to Thailand to Congo and back to rural Nova Scotia. Around
the world, anti-mining networks have sprung up, spearheaded by
communities who realize they have more to lose than to gain from
open-pit megaprojects on their lands.

State of Mine: An investigation of Canada's extractive industries is
the collected work of dozens of independent journalists, our effort to
jump-start a much needed national debate about the future of mining.
We include stories from communities spanning the globe – more stories
than we could fit in this, our biggest issue ever.

Join Dominion editors Dru Oja Jay and Dawn Paley for the launch of
State of Mine, Friday, November 21, 2008. Come out and learn how you
can participate in Canada's grassroots news cooperative!

University of Alberta, Education Building, room 106, 6:30pm.
Copies of the special issue available at the event; after the weekend of 
November 21-23 (in Edmonton) please contact: macdonald at oilsandstruth.org
