The final days of hearings into a contentious coal mine in southwestern Alberta were met with protests in downtown Calgary .

The hearing is the last opportunity for public input before the energy regulator decides whether to move forward with a temporary exploratory drilling program and acquire a licence to divert water to the project.

The previously rejected project has led to stark divisions between those keen on the project’s economic boost and those concerned about its ecological impacts.
