Opinion: What Alberta s public consultation on coal should look like

Article content âCommitting to consult on a modernized policyâ â that was the second shoe Energy Minister Sonya Savage dropped when she announced she was reinstating Albertaâs 1976 Coal Policy. The publicâs demand to be consulted about coal mining was the accelerant for the firestorm of criticism the Kenney government endured after it quietly rescinded that policy last year. What should the ministerâs consultation commitment offer Albertans? Nothing less than the opportunity to determine the future of Albertaâs iconic Eastern Slopes. Public consultation should ask this question: âShould new coal surface mines be allowed anywhere in Albertaâs Rockies and foothills?â

Rockies while Alberta hit the brakes Mountaintop-removal coal mining is much more prevalent in B.C. than Alberta. To understand why, you need to go back decades to unfurl a story that defies stereotypes of environmental values 12 min read At first glance, the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta are nearly indistinguishable. Spectacular ridgelines. Snow-covered peaks. Tens of thousands of years of glacial sculpting. The two provinces’ shared border straddles the same iconic mountain range and the same rich coal deposit that lies beneath.

Critics ask why no details on government plan for parks management

Critics ask why no details on government plan for parks management by Bob Weber, The Canadian Press Posted Feb 22, 2021 4:00 am EDT Last Updated Feb 22, 2021 at 4:11 am EDT EDMONTON The Alberta government has yet to release details on how it will “optimize” the province’s parks by getting other people to run them. It’s been almost a year since the plan was revealed in the budget and Alberta Parks is to begin accepting reservations March 4 for this summer’s camping season. Despite repeated requests from politicians, environmental groups and The Canadian Press, Alberta Environment won’t say with whom it’s signed new parks management contracts, what the contracts contain or how many there are.
