Feb 11, 2026 — 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The Human Rights Research and Education Centre (HRREC) is pleased to partner with Above Ground and MiningWatch Canada to host this initiative.
A civil society strategizing session around the issue of critical minerals
The purpose of this initiative is to bring together civil society experts and advocates with various foci, including but not limited to climate action, human rights, Indigenous rights, labour rights, justice for harm caused by Canadian business activity at home, and justice for harm caused by Canadian business activity abroad. Advocates are invited to participate in structured discussions in a roundtable format with the goal of building a shared strategy for countering harmful corporate and government narratives on critical minerals and pushing for social and environmental justice in meaningful solidarity with Indigenous communities around the world.
Note that this event is limited to civil society participants, including academics and legal experts working on related issues.
