Supporters of open-pit coal mining in Alberta say there's a glimmer of hope that new mines could be built after comments Premier Danielle Smith reportedly made during a campaign town hall.
“She has given some expression during one our meetings that she would be open, or potentially open, but she needs to get more information as there are a lot of issues in Alberta,” said Eric Lowther, a director with the Citizens Supportive of Crowsnest Coal group. “Her openness is a hopeful note for our group.”
In the spring of 2020, without any public consultation, the UCP government scrapped Alberta’s 1976 coal policy which blocked new coal development and exploration in the Rocky Mountains.Crowsnest Pass, Oct. 20, 2022Environmental groups say Smith needs to engage with everyone before making any decisions.
“It’s not just the Crowsnest Pass and eastern slopes, if our water gets contaminated, everyone downstream, including in Lethbridge, would be impacted,” Morrison said.
