I thought that this Bill was performative nonsense but then I see that it gives the LGiC the power to change the status of provincial parks, ecological reserves wilderness areas etc. Here we go again: DEFEND ALBERTA PARKS #ableg CPAWS Southern Alberta Alberta Wilderness Association alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…

An extreme example of slow response to incidents would be the Imperial Oil Kearl leak and spill. We dive into the Alberta Energy Regulator (#AER) 's investigation into CNRL when islands formed in their #tailings ponds: cpawsnab.org/.../wildlife-k…

We mapped out the footprint for every #energy sector in #Alberta. To no one's surprise there is a big presence of Oil and gas wells, and oil sands (in situ and mining) on the landscape. This is what it looks like 👀 👉

“It's an inaccurate risk assessment that is essentially useless for informing decisions around remediation and understanding health risks" - @ToxSolutions talks to @NatObserver about federal assessment of the contaminated Fort Chipewyan dock site nationalobserver.com/2024/11/12/new…

Using ArcGIS StoryMaps we built our case in support of a #NationalUrbanPark in the #yeg river valley. This place-based approach showcases how tightly wound communities, wildlife, recreation and culture co-exists in the region : storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/84985c…

Hey folks 👋 We're on that other platform now too 🔵 : @cpawsnab.bsky.social

This is something that absolutely must not be allowed to happen. Zero reason for AB to log old growth caribou habitat, even with wildfire risk (which has ALWAYS been there with caribou habitat) -- which does not affect communities, anyways.

SCOOP🍨: Albertans were surprised to learn cougars can now be hunted in some provincial parks — using hounds. But that plan faced a hurdle: off-leash dogs are not allowed in parks. So the government amended provincial park regulations to make an exception. thenarwhal.ca/alberta-cougar…

New study by ecologist Kevin Timoney shows that there is NO DATA supporting Alberta Energy Regulator's claims that majority of spills are cleaned up without harm to wildlife calgary.ctvnews.ca/alberta-energy…

Remember 2 years ago when a tailings leak was happening for MONTHS unreported before it surfaced publicly? We are hosting an event to commemorate the incident, with a film screening "Killer Water", t-shirt making and more. RSVP:eventbrite.ca/e/an-anti-vale…

At last, communities may see justice from the Imperial Oil Kearl Mine Tailings spill incident that came to light in 2023. Nine charges have been laid against the company by the Alberta Energy Regulator: cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

Disappointed (but not surprised) that CST Coal was given a nominal fine of $9,000 for releasing mine wastewater into the Smoky River in 2023. ℹ️ cpawsnab.org/all-news/cst-c… #AbLeg #AlbertaNews #AlbertaCoal
