VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 22, 2011) - ATCO Structures & Logistics is joining the organization, Together for Chile, in bringing two rescued Chilean miners to Vancouver Sept. 23-24, 2011 as part of a promotional tour of seven major Canadian 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.
