The 1950s paving of Groat Ravine for car-centric development set a precedent. A 1960s plan to pave MacKinnon Ravine sparked intense civic conflict. Citizens fought to prioritize parkland over freeways, saving MacKinnon Ravine in 1984. edmontonrivervalley.org/news…

And the mine site isn't even in the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass. It's in Ranchlands MD, next door. And they didn't get to vote. But their councillors voted unanimously AGAINST the mine in council.
Just one more example of smoke and mirrors and dishonesty around this project
