Corb Lund’s anti-mining petition rejected by Elections Alberta
Election Alberta said that majority of rejected signatures were due to incomplete voter information, invalid dates and duplicate signatures.
Country music star Corb Lund’s citizen initiative petition to ban new coal mining in Alberta won’t be part of the provincial referendum in October after it failed to garner enough signatures to meet the threshold.
The petition had specifically targeted two proposed coal projects: Northback’s Grassy Mountain and Valory Resources’ Blackstone mine in Alberta’s eastern slopes.
