Grassy Mountain.

The Grassy Mountain Project represents a real opportunity for our community. It’s about good-paying, local jobs and long-term stability for families in the Crowsnest Pass.

This project focuses on mining metallurgical coal, which is used to produce steel, rather than generating power. That means it supports the infrastructure the world needs to build everything from hospitals and schools to bridges and transit. Demand for this type of coal remains strong, especially from countries such as India, South Korea, and Japan.

Grassy Mountain would create hundreds of jobs during construction and about 400 full-time, long-term positions once operational.

Grassy Mountain would create hundreds of jobs during construction and about 400 full-time, long-term positions once operational. That’s a big deal for a region like ours, where economic opportunities can be limited, and young people often have to leave town to find work.

The project also includes modern environmental planning and is committed to meeting Alberta’s high regulatory standards. Projects like these in Alberta are carefully reviewed and designed to limit impact while maximizing benefits for local people.

We’ve seen too many opportunities get shut down by misinformation and outside pressure. This time, the community has spoken clearly: we want this project.

It’s time to move forward, together, and build a future right here at home.
