Alberta government announcement on the future of coal mining | LIVE

From Global News.

Minister of Energy and Minerals Brian Jean and Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Rebecca Schulz will share information on the future of coal mining in the foothills of Alberta on Friday.

This follows a recent plebiscite in the Crowsnest Pass region, where residents voted overwhelmingly in favor of an Australian mining company, Northback, reinitiating coal operations on the eastern slopes of the Rockies.

While supporters argue for economic benefits, opponents voice concerns about potential risks to critical water supplies.
