Stop Grassy Mountain Coal and Protect the Rockies

CPAWS

Mountaintop-removal coal mines in the Southern Eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains will worsen climate change, contaminate water and destroy fish and wildlife habitat. The proposed Grassy Mountain Coal Project and a number of proposed coal projects in Southwest Alberta pose a serious threat to the environment and character of the region. They must not be allowed to proceed.

Currently, there are four companies exploring potential mining operations in the region. All of the currently proposed coal mines are open-pit “mountain top removal” mines and are located in the Crowsnest Pass area. Coal mining exploration is also happening along the Livingstone Range and in the Bighorn area west of Red Deer.
