Episode 7.09 - Alberta's Coal Problem (Part 2) - Biologist Lorne Fitch!

Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive on coal in Alberta, with a conversation with biologist and environmental scientist Lorne Fitch!


Lorne has been following the impact of coal mining in Alberta for the last 50 years and for his work on conservation he has been part of three Alberta Emerald awards, an Alberta Order of the Bighorn Award, and a Canadian Environmental Gold Award, with additional recognition from The Wildlife Society, the Society for Range Management, the Alberta Society of Professional Biologists, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and the Alberta Wilderness Association. Lorne lives in Lethbridge, Alberta.


So while the UCP are certainly trying to paint a picture for Albertans that coal can and will be mined safely, Lornes research and experience tells a very different story!

Episode 7.08 - Alberta's Coal Problem (Part 1) - Adam North Peigan!

It's finally Part 1 of our deep dive on coal in Alberta!


Throughout March we're going to be presenting a series of interviews on the incredible danger that coal mining in the eastern slopes, and particularly Grassy Mountain presents to Alberta!


For our first conversation, we're extremely excited to present a conversation with an incredibly powerful voice, Adam North Peigan!


In this conversation, not only do we get into the real risk and exploitation that First Nations have dealt with in regards to Grassy Mountain, but we also peel back the layers much deeper and get into the history and complexities of First Nations leadership and representation.
