The govt plans to remove 164 sites from the parks system - removing the protections they have as designated parks. If you oppose this plan, contact your MLA.

Alberta's coal policy survey closes TODAY! (Mon 19)
Don't miss out on this opportunity to weigh in.
We have put together a helpful guide to navigate the survey's divisive questions and condescending tone:➡️cpawsnab.org/cpaws-tips-on-a…

Alberta's Coal Policy survey leaves little room to voice concerns over the future of the Rockies. We urge all Albertans to participate and answer the questions asked & also the ones we wish were asked. #ableg #MountainsNotMines

The laws that protect our parks and public lands are being changed.

We agree: reinstating the Coal Policy does nothing to remedy the harmful decisions made from June 2020 until now. There should be a full stop on all exploration & development activities until a new policy, with thorough public consultation, is in place.

It's time for the Alberta government to call off coal mining in our Rocky Mountains and foothills.
Call decision-makers today to tell them these amazing wild places are no place for open-pit coal mines: y2y.net/CallAboutCoal

“Pause” on new coal leases does not address threat of coal development in Alberta's Rockies.
⛰️Still 840,000 ha of coal leases
⛰️Half formerly restricted by Coal Policy
⛰️All still available for coal mining

Coal leases that were recently granted in scenic tourist areas around Nordegg are causing an outcry from residents and eco-tourism business owners in the area. reddeeradvocate.com/news/thi…

New blog breaks down how removal of Alberta’s Coal Policy opened up the #ABRockies for open-pit coal mining - and how Australian mining companies knew about the changes months before Albertans.

We want to try and address how HUGE the open-pit coal mine issue really is...
It's hard to envision how MASSIVE mines are. Here is BC's operational Teck mine (pink) next to Alberta's coal leases in the Livingstone Range (orange). They're similar but how big are they?

Crescent Falls is one of the most popular tourist draws in @DTCountryAB. Excellent hiking along the Bighorn River. Fully leased for coal mining on December 1, 2020 outside the small recreation area after removal of Coal Policy. Coal mining is not appropriate here #abcoal #ableg

Folks, recently there have been some alarming and significant changes to Alberta’s provincial Coal Policy, which open up the eastern slopes of our Rocky Mountains to potential open pit coal mining. For more info please read my post: fb.watch/2ZW2-UgB_7/ youtu.be/NqOxAnqyT54

"Our research shows that the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies is one of the most important places across the whole country for its combination of freshwater, carbon storage, and recreation ... Yet the area is at risk from coal mining and other threats."

Despite great news last week, our fight to #DefendABParks is not over. The AB gov’s new Crown Land Vision will bring changes to parks legislation, and we must ensure that they do not put our parks at risk again.
