#NEW: Alberta has named three of the province’s beloved mountain destinations as all-season resort areas, a move the premier says will revitalize iconic ski resorts, create jobs, and make it easier for families to stay and play in the Rockies year-round. calgary.citynews.ca/2025/12/10/alb…

Alberta designates Nakiska, Castle and Fortress as first 3 locations for all-season resorts ift.tt/YnlBh1Q

Just the beginning indeed. So far: ➡️Removal of the Provincial Recreation Area designation at Nakiska, ➡️Removal of *131 hectares* of #ProvincialPark (!) to accommodate new commercial development at Fortress in #Kananaskis, and ➡️Boundary changes to #CastleWildlandProvincialPark.

⚠️BREAKING: All-Seasons Resort Act Policy Released We're alarmed by the dangerous precedent @YourAlberta is setting in designating ASRs and making changes to Parks and Protected Areas *without* engaging Albertans. More info & and our full statement: bit.ly/4aGtQV8

In case you missed it, yesterday @CorbLund filed his application to for a Citizen's Initiative petition to prohibit coal mining in the #EasternSlopes of #Alberta's #RockyMountains 🏔️ #MountainsNotMines #WaterNotCoal #YYC #YEG #Calgary #Edmonton #AbLeg #AbPoli #Canada #CdnPoli

Today a landscape ecologist hiked up into one of the areas where mining companies are already building roads and exposing coal, to see what was going on. At the end of a detailed description of what he witnessed, he wrote: 1/n #abpoli @Ablawg @cpawssab @CBCFletch @ryanjespersen

Last week, 4F @aebowers_rvs had the opportunity to have Sheri with @cpawssab visit our school to teach us everything about the gifts and generosity of Grasslands! We learned so much and appreciate this opportunity made possible by Lisa and @FortisAlberta. Thank you!

An unforgettable day for our Canada Connects clients! A #hike at Ribbon Creek with @cpawssab Sheri Tarrington brought Indigenous wisdom, nature & community together. One participant called it “the best day of their life.” For Volunteering & info: ccisab.ca/canada-connect… #CCIS

Also, how was this $ determined? The AB Mines & Minerals Act permits the Minister to cancel coal leases, & only requires repayment of what the company's already paid the Crown—NOT hypothetical lost profits. 
If taxpayers are paying more than what’s legally required, why??

Is withholding $6 million (4.2%) of the settlement really enough to to incentivize Atrum to fulfill its legal reclamation responsibilities? Or will Albertans be left footing the bill for that too? ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…

🐟 These small populations keep being destroyed, keep disappearing. When you zoom out and look at the cumulative impacts, it’s a huge deal for this threatened species. rmoutlook.com/kananaskis-cou…

🌿Conservation education & conservation advocacy are SO deeply tied. A sustainable future for Alberta depends on both. 🌟 Huge thanks to @conserveAlberta for for supporting our Connect to Conserve program, connecting rural youth & new Canadians to the outdoors & #CitizenScience!
