We feel it is our responsibility to be proactive in ensuring that UC's presence benefits the whole community beyond the jobs and economic prosperity that mining brings.
The Company is pleased to announce it has become a corporate member and sponsor of the following organizations.
UC Resources is a Gold Sponsor of the Canadian Club of Vancouver, which exists today, as it has for the past 100 years, to promote Canadian identity and foster Canadian unity. In the hundred years since its founding, the ways and means the Club has used to pursue its goals have evolved, but its purpose has remained the same: to foster fellowship among people proud to celebrate their Canadian identity and to educate, inform, and stimulate thought about issues of national significance.
The Company is also a member of the Canadian Investor Relations Institute, which is a professional, not-for-profit association of executives responsible for communication between public corporations, investors and the financial community. CIRI is dedicated to advancing the stature and credibility of the investor relations profession and the competency of its members.
UC Resources is also proud to sponsor USMoms, which is a Vancouver-based charity that supports single, parent families by providing free weekly boxes of nutritious foods, free clothing, furniture and household items as well as self-reliance and education programs. In order to meet its goals, USMoms is looking to increase the amount of food it provides destitute families.
Further to its corporate governance initiatives, UC Resources was proud to have been a bronze sponsor of Big Brothers recent Whistler Golf Classic, presented by Canaccord Capital. This charity event has grown to become one of the premier charity golf tournaments in Canada, attracting top business people from a variety of industries. The Big Brothers Whistler Golf Classic has now raised more than $1.9 million to support Big Brothers of Greater Vancouver.
UC Resources is also an active and proud member of the business community in Mexico. The Company believes that its long-term success depends on the future generation of Mexicans who will have realized the benefit of a university education. The Company is currently in negotiations with three universities in order to provide financial aid for Mexican students residing in Mexico as well as an opportunity for these students to study in British Columbia.
