Council (KNC) has sent a letter to the federal government requesting a federal environmental impact assessment for the proposed re-start of an open-cut coal mine 26 km south of Crowsnest Pass.
In an April 1 letter to Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Greg Bosse, Project Manager, Prairie and Northern Region Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, the Ktunaxa Nation asks that Montem Resources’ Tent Mountain Project undergo a review under section 9(1) of the Impact Assessment Act (the Act).
According to Montem’s website, the Tent Mountain Mine straddles both sides of the southwest Alberta and southeast British Columbia border. It has current mine permits in both Alberta and British Columbia covering steelmaking coal reserves, and the company is working with regulators to obtain mining licences to enable the re-start of open-cut mining.

Coal mining is big business in the B.C. Rockies. It could get bigger if these projects are approved
Four proposed projects are undergoing environmental review in the Kootenay Rockies, where open-pit coal mining is tied to longstanding pollution concerns 11 min read
In the face of widespread public backlash, the Alberta government agreed to rethink its plan to open parts of the Rocky Mountains and foothills to open-pit coal mining but it’s a different story just across the provincial border, where an already massive industry could get bigger.
EDMONTON Two of southern Alberta s largest First Nations have asked the federal government to step into an environmental review of a coal mine proposed for the Rocky Mountains.
In a letter to federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, the Siksika and Kainai say the review planned by Alberta s energy regulator of the Montem Resources Tent Mountain proposal falls far short. The proposed provincial review by the Alberta Energy Regulator is insufficient to appropriately identify the impacts to areas of federal jurisdiction, including on Kainai’s rights, says the letter from Chief Roy Fox.
An Alberta Energy spokesman said Tuesday that Alberta maintains jurisdiction over its natural resources.
