Western Canada Wilderness Committee

Jasper National Park is an area of unique alpine flora that survived the last ice-advance and was not destroyed by glaciation. It contains an abundance of rare wildlife, including timber wolves, grizzly bears, and bighorn sheep. This Alberta park is also home to delicate mosses needed to contain the ecosystem. Please read the report and find out why the Wilderness Committee wants you to oppose the proposed Cheviot Mine.
