Citizen Initiative Petition · with Corb Lund

Water Not Coal

No new coal mining in
Alberta's Rockies.

Albertans have been saying no for years. This Citizen Initiative Petition will finally take this issue to a Referendum vote — but only if we get enough physical signatures on the official form before the deadline.

Official Petition Question

What You’re Signing

The Government of Alberta shall prohibit through legislation all coal exploration and mining activities within the Eastern Slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, other than mines that are in actual production as of January 1, 2026. For clarity, this prohibition includes Northback Holdings’ Grassy Mountain Project and Valory Resources’ Blackstone Project as well as any projects to expand any producing mines.

Why this petition

Drinking water for one in three Albertans starts in the Eastern Slopes.

Open-pit coal mining in the Rockies puts selenium into our rivers, dust into our air, and a known carcinogen into the watershed our farms, towns and cities depend on.

Successive governments have promised “no new coal” — and quietly walked it back. A citizen initiative petition is a binding response. Get the signatures, change the law.
