On June 1, 2020, the Government of Alberta rescinded the provincial Coal Policy. This policy was created in 1976 to restrict open pit coal mining and coal exploration in the most environmentally sensitive areas in the Rocky Mountains. This decision came on the heels of another government decision in March 2020 to remove protections on 175 parks and recreation areas.
On November 18, join the Red Deer Chapter of the Council of Canadians, a concerned resident and Katie Morrison of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Association (CPAWS) for an online discussion about the future of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and how to protect them from the Alberta Government’s regressive decisions around the Coal Policy.
