No quick decision on Grassy Mountain mine assessment; OWC Poll Yes By Alejandra Pulido-Guzman - for the Lethbridge Herald
dshurtz@lethbridgeherald.com on May 8, 2021. The Oldman River watershed has been at the centre of the debate regarding coal mining in the Rockies. There are two coal mines that are being proposed which are undergoing review. The area covered by the Oldman watershed expands from High River to the St. Mary River system in Glacier National Park, and part of the watershed is in the Blackfeet Nation in Montana and across from Taber to the British Columbia border. The Oldman watershed has 11 councils across Alberta. They are non-profit and a registered charity, with one of them based in Lethbridge. They are a collaborative forum for solving environmental challenges.
