Provincial Coal Consultation - critical opportunity for public input
Initiative:
Coal policy engagement
Deadline:
19 Apr 2021
Deadline April 19 to provide feedback on Alberta coal policy through an on-line survey

New government coal consultation misses the mark, failing to engage with Albertans on the issues they care most about
76% of Albertans are in favour of more protections for nature and recreation in the Eastern Slopes. 64% of those aware of the issue opposed ongoing exploration activity in the Eastern Slopes.
Yesterday’s announcement from the Government of Alberta launching the consultation process for a new Coal Policy does not address CPAWS Southern and Northern Alberta Chapters’ concerns around coal development in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. While CPAWS is happy to see that the process will be run by an independent committee, the survey released as part of the consultation is narrowly focused on regulation of coal developments.
