Your friendly reminder that Corb Lund’s petition is still going, and check to see if there’s a petition station near you.
Lund said opponents of the Grassy Mountain and Blackstone projects worry they would affect the quality of drinking water from the Oldman and North Saskatchewan rivers due to their respective locations.
A peer-reviewed study published last year found contamination from old coal mines in Alberta had been polluting nearby bodies of water, negatively impacting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
“It’s already in the sensitive area,” Lund said, referring specifically to the Grassy Mountain project. “There’s already been legacy mining up there decades ago, and there’s already an overwhelming amount of selenium in some of the lakes up there, so the economics of the thing don’t make sense and the conservation elements of it certainly don’t make sense.”

Significant areas of the #EasternSlopes land were opened to coal leases, initiating a widespread response from concerned landowners, environmentalists, and #Indigenous communities. Due to public pressure, the 1976 #Coal #Policy was reinstated in early 2021 after cancelling eleven new coal leases. Four projects were exempted from the Ministerial order, two of which being Benga’s #GrassyMountain and Montem’s Tent Mountain coal projects.

I can’t stay silent about #GrassyMountain – and neither should you | Calgary Herald #ABPoli https://calgaryherald.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-i-cant-stay-silent-about-grassy-mountain-and-neither-should-you “The Grassy Mountain debate is a litmus test. By sidelining engineers in the decision-making process, #Alberta risks becoming a relic in a world demanding sustainable solutions. The engineering profession’s credibility is at stake. (1/3)
