Today, both companies requested that trading in their shares on the Australian Securities Exchange be stopped.

Digital Rally: Say No to Coal
Jun 25 2021 - 12:00pm

The grassroots opposition to this new coal rush in Alberta is working – on June 17, the proposed Grassy Mountain coal project was rejected thanks to pressure from the hard work of people in Alberta and across the country. However, the work to protect the Rockies is not over – there are still 7 coal projects able to move ahead. Read more about Digital Rally: Say No to Coal
