ATCO Structures & Logistics is joining the organization,
Together for Chile, in bringing two rescued Chilean miners to
Canada on a promotional tour of seven major cities. The miners will
promote the upcoming National Folkloric Ballet of Chile (BAFONA)
Canada Tour 2011. The cultural dance performances will raise funds
for the reconstruction of a Chilean school destroyed by an
earthquake in 2010.
Franklin Lobos and Omar Reygadas are two of the 33 Chilean
miners rescued last October after spending a record 69 days trapped
in a mine near San Jose, Chile. Tecno Fast ATCO S.A., the South
American joint-venture partner of ATCO Structures & Logistics,
donated 33 modular units that were used for medical evaluations and
family receptions after the rescue.
"It is an honour for ATCO Structures & Logistics to work
with these courageous men as they help raise money to rebuild a
school in Chile," said Harry Wilmot, President & Chief
Operating Officer, ATCO Structures & Logistics. "We have a
long-standing relationship with Chile and support the BAFONA dance
tour and this worthy cause."
The mine rescue was viewed by more than one billion people and
has led to international TV appearances, books, and plans for a
movie. It is the first time either miner has travelled to Canada.
They will be accompanied by members of Together for Chile, a group
of Canadians who support the country's rebuilding.
The Rescued Chilean Miners Tour will include a press conference
in each city and media availability, in addition to public
appearances at various cultural and sporting events. The tour
begins Sept. 16 in Toronto and includes stops in every city hosting
the BAFONA dance performances.
Formed in 1965, BAFONA has performed before more than 13 million
spectators in more than 600 cities. The BAFONA dance tour begins
Sept. 30 in Edmonton and will include performances in Calgary, Oct.
3; Vancouver, Oct. 6; Quebec City, Oct. 10; Montreal, Oct. 13;
Ottawa, Oct. 17; and concludes in Toronto, Oct. 19. Visit
