The Athabasca Watershed: Protecting One of Canada’s Most Vital Rivers
The Athabasca River is the lifeblood of Alberta, supporting communities, industry, and diverse ecosystems from the Rocky Mountains to the boreal forest. But with increasing environmental pressures, how do we ensure its future?

    The reasoning that coal mining provides jobs is far-fetched. The local businesses will have opportunities. The actual miners if its anything like the oilsands will be from elsewhere. Many of them have worked all over Canada and needless to say follow the mines. When a mine closes they move to the next one, that goes for mine engineers and geologists. They're a skilled work force so they will take precedence over Albertans without mining experience. The UCP best not get its hopes up. I just hope if the NDP come to power they have the fortitude to see it through. The wealthy conservative elite will push back.

    Let your MLA know that you are not in agreement with coal mining in our eastern slopes. I have been horse pack camping, fishing and hunting for 40 years in the Bighorn back country. This mountain environment is very fragile and a World Treasure. Go to court and fight for our precious mountains . Its worth way more than money Clear your head and go into the wilderness, feel the stress drain from your mind and body, breath the mountain air and see the wild animals in there natural environment. Give my grandchildren the opportunity to ride horses and experience what these areas have given to me, LET THE GOVERNMENT KNOW WHERE YOU STAND.

    Sadly as always a handful of people stand to make a lot of money out of this but always remember once the land is poisoned and the mountains are gone they are that way for ever.. the people making these decisions should be held personally financially responsible for this decision. but we all know they will take the money and run and Alberta will be left with poisoned rives and land that can never be the way it was. I think maybe we need new ministers that actually listen to Albertans and not just looking at their own bank accounts.

    This is the dopiest idea. There are only two ports in B.C., Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Vancouver is already backed up for days. Prince Rupert has a coal terminal but it is wholly owned by Teck the company that owns the mines in B.C. so not likely to allow a rival to use it.
