SACPA hosting talk on the Oldman River watershed
By Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs on February 10, 2021.
With significant interest in establishing metallurgical coal mining operations throughout the eastern slopes of Alberta, currently there are four companies exploring potential mining operations in the region. All the currently proposed coal mines are open-pit “mountain top removal” mines and are located in the Crowsnest Pass area.
Coal mining exploration is also happening along the Livingstone Range and in the Bighorn area west of Red Deer.
 On Thursday at 10 a.m., Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA) speaker Shannon Frank, executive director of the Oldman Watershed Council, will detail what is currently happening in the Oldman watershed with regards to coal mines and what the long-term impacts of coal mining are likely to be.Â
