Members of a group against a coal mine proposed in the Canadian Rockies denounced the project at a meeting in Calgary ’s Beltline community.

Australia -based Northback Holdings applied to the Alberta Energy Regulator to begin a temporary drilling program to explore for coal and divert water to the mine in the Crowsnest Pass .

The company says it's proposing a high-quality, modern steelmaking coal project.

AER hearings in Calgary finished mid-January and a decision on the Grassy Mountain coal mine is expected within 90 days of their conclusion.

Former Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman also spoke against the project, citing in part its denial by a joint review panel in 2021 and public outcry at the time.
