Congrats Coaldale! This is a great project and so well-conceived for the sustainabilitiy of your municipal operations!

There's 13 years of hard work behind this success story by a lot of people, led by our collaboration the Southern Alberta Alternative Energy Partnership, to make sure that the world knows about the renewable energy resources of southern Alberta. This is what's possible when forward-thinking municipalties drive forward a sustained economic development project over the long-term. #regionaleconomicdevelopment #alberta #albertaenergy

With 46 kms moving ahead, there's still LOTS of work to do on Highway 3! SouthGrow is firmly supportive of this project. The need for expanded transportation capacity in southern Alberta is more important than ever as our agri-food industry, mining, and renewable energy continues to surge despite the global pandemic. #twin3 Have you signed the petition? www.twin3.ca
