To: Government of Alberta: Coal Policy Committee June 12, 2021Thank you for the opportunity to communicate our concerns and views on Alberta’s Coal Policy.
The Government of Alberta introduced Bill 79, the Trails Act, last week on November 2, 2021. The stated goal of the Trails Act is to support trails on public lands and to adapt to the growing demand of outdoor recreation, tourism, and business.
The Grassy Mountain Coal Project in the Crowsnest Pass area has been rejected by the joint-federal and provincial review panel and will not be moving forward - a significant win for hikers, water quality, and more.
