Protect our Water and Jobs: Restore the Coal Policy
Legislative Assembly of Alberta
In the summer of 2020, Jason Kenney's UCP government rescinded the decades-long Coal Development Policy for Alberta which ensured that no coal mining would take place in the protected areas critical to the watershed of southern Alberta towns and cities.
The decision to allow coal development in these sensitive areas must be reversed. The Coal Policy must be re-established. Every Albertan needs and deserves access to safe and clean water. Our watersheds must be protected from destructive strip mining. Without water, we have no lives or livelihoods here.
Sign this petition to call for the Government of Alberta to restore the Coal Policy immediately. Protect our water, our health and our jobs in southern Alberta!

We, the undersigned residents of Alberta, petition the Legislative Assembly to urge the Government of Alberta to reinstate the Coal Development Policy for Alberta (1976), rescinded by the Alberta Government in 2020. Our water, our jobs, our environment, our ranches, and our landscape must be protected from destructive open-pit coal mining in the eastern Slopes.
