Don’t mine our mountains because they are a key part of our ecosystems that keep all beings alive. They are a sanctuary of beauty and peace that we all need. And they’re a huge part of what makes Alberta unique and magnificent - if we sell and destroy them, we’ve hurt all future generations. Dr. Christine Gibson #dontmineourmountains

Open-pit coal mining: A tale "boom and bust" cycle

I come to the foothills and mountains for rejuvenation, to feel humbled by the majesty of nature, to forge stronger connections with my friends and family. We all need these places to remain intact, for our well-being and for generations to come. Please don’t mine in my mountains! #dontmineourmountains Andrea Hull, MD, Calgary

"Rain, snow or shine...they stand mighty and tall. Mountains bring me peace even in the most troubling times. I stay in awe of their majesty. I love to share them with my loved ones. I teach my children to respect them. Let's take care of what we have. Please, don't mine our mountains." #dontmineourmountains Aimée Bouka, MD, Calgary
