Controversial coal exploration project approved | Bridge City News | May 16, 2025
The Alberta Energy Regulator approved a controversial coal exploration project on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. The regulator says it determined approving the project is in the public interest and it won't have negative effects on water quality or wildlife, which many at public hearings argued will happen. It notes that accepting the need for this exploration program does not constitute approval of a coal mine.
Former Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman has been outspoken for many years about the approval of this project and spoke to BCN about it.
