Albertans across the province have been clear that they do not want to see coal mining activity in our mountains.

The Alberta NDP will protect our parks and our public lands, and the livelihoods of all the people who depend on them.

We will protect our mountains by law, and pass the Eastern Slopes Protection Act, which will ban coal mining projects in the Rocky Mountains and surrounding areas.

The UCP government has refused to close the door on mining in the province’s most beautiful landscapes and important watersheds.

Danielle Smith and the UCP know they've failed us, and the unified response from Albertans scared them. Across the province, Albertans came together with a clear message: no new coal mines on the Eastern Slopes.

The Alberta NDP will protect the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies and our province’s headwaters by banning coal mining in these sensitive areas.

Rachel Notley and Alberta’s NDP understand that our water security is far more important than coal can ever be.

Residents have spoken out loudly about the need to protect Alberta’s mountains and vital headwaters.

Every Albertan needs and deserves access to safe and clean water. Our watersheds must be protected from destructive strip mining and the harmful pollution that comes with it.

Threatening our natural resources and watersheds puts our health at increased risk. We cannot stand by and let that happen.
