Concern over the Alberta government’s decision to drop a coal policy that has protected the eastern slopes of the Rockies for decades is growing among area communities
At least six cities, towns and municipal districts in southwest Alberta have now expressed concern about the decision and the lack of consultation.
The latest is Longview, where mayor Kathie Wight is drafting a letter to the government opposing the move.
Others, such as Black Diamond and Clearwater County, plan to discuss the issue at upcoming meetings after hearing concerns from residents.
