A third request has been made to the federal government to get involved in the review of a coal mine proposed for Alberta’s Rocky Mountains.
Landowners, Indigenous people and environmental groups are asking Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson the environmental hearing for Montem Resource’s Tent Mountain project.
They point out the mine would straddle the British Columbia-Alberta boundary.
They say it would also affect areas of federal responsibility and the mine’s planned output would be just shy of a threshold that would trigger a federal review.
