CALGARY - The final days of hearings into a contentious coal exploration project in southwestern Alberta were met with protests in downtown Calgary on Tuesday.
Honking vehicles and chants were the backdrop to Alberta Energy Regulator hearings weighing a potential coal exploration project in Crowsnest Pass.
"We had a decent year for rain this year, but it's all surface. The aquifers are running dry," said Lance Loree, a third-generation rancher from Nanton, Alta.
