Country singer Corb Lund is restarting a petition to ban new coal mining in Alberta’s Rocky Mountain foothills, needing 178,000 signatures in four months.
Country singer Corb Lund has received renewed approval from Elections Alberta to pursue a petition banning new coal mining in the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
The initiative, previously canceled due to legislative changes under Premier Danielle Smith, aims to prohibit all new coal exploration and mining in the ecologically sensitive region.
Lund, a southern Alberta resident and environmental advocate, must now complete additional paperwork before officially launching the campaign.
He has four months to gather nearly 178,000 signatures; if successful, the petition could lead to a provincial ban or a public vote.
The effort reflects growing public concern over industrial impacts on land and water resources.
