Join the Hub in asking the Alberta government to better protect the headwaters of our #EasternSlopes. The health of those headwaters is deteriorating & under great threat due to clear cutting, mining & other human activities.

If proposed coal mine exploration and development in Alberta’s #EasternSlopes proceeded, there are few water basins in our province that wouldn’t be in some way impacted ⚠️

The health of our #AlbertaWater CANNOT be the collateral damage of the coal industry’s inability to operate responsibly ⛰️

Call to Action 📝

This is an official petition that will be tabled in the Alberta Legislature. If you would like to solicit signatures for this petition, I can provide you with a PDF for you to print.

#EasternSlopes #SayNoToCoal #ABLeg
Have your voice heard on the Grassy Mountain coal mine issue. Petition: To the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in Legislature Assembled: We, the undersigned residents of Alberta, petition the Legislative Assembly to urge the government of Alberta to introduce legislation to immediately terminate the Grassy Mountain coal project proposed by Northback Holdings for the following reasons: 1. Northback has not provided verifiable practices to control selenium contamination in the Oldman River Basin. 2. The risks of substantial harm to the environment, water and the agrifood economy of Southern Alberta far exceed the benefits of the proposed coal mine.

"The decision places numerous watersheds up and down the Rockies at permanent risk of environmental insults, including toxic coal dust, water contamination, strip mining, landscape destruction and toxic selenium pollution."
