The Mining the Connections Working Group (Maritime Conference, United Church of Canada) is pleased to announce “Where Our Treasure Is”, a brand-new resource related to our concern that the United Church of Canada Pension Board continues to invest in Goldcorp, in spite of many negative impacts on the environment and the lives of Central Americans.

Along with the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network, we have been educating Canadians since 2004 concerning the destructive activities of Canadian corporations in Guatemala.. In 2009 we learned that the United Church of Canada Pension Board was investing in Goldcorp, along with most union and institutional pension plans in Canada. We urge you to read this document and consider a similar campaign in your church, union or other instittution. You may also wish to consider changing your personal investments. We have learned that there are investments in Canada that provide good, low-risk returns while not investing in Goldcorp and other gold mining companies around the world.
