We hope to see many people out tonight in this beautiful weather.

There is no reason our water should be tampered with for billionaires. Our water and our mountains are precious so we need to do our part to stop further destruction. Existing coal mining has already affected fish downstream. Once our water is contaminated, there is no going back so please come out to find us tonight.

NOTE: We will shut down if it starts to rain. Wet pages are no good.

Want to sign Water Not Coal but can't get out to meet us? We've got you covered! We're also happy to stop by small group gatherings - backyard hangouts, coffee meetups, neighborhood get togethers - whatever suits you best. Just send an email to mobile@waternotcoal.ca and one of our local volunteers will arrange a time that works for you. When you email, please include your name, street address, and phone number so we can connect easily.

The market is at PARKING LOT E, 2051 LEGER ROAD NW EDMONTON. Please look for the Water Not Coal symbol to find us.

We all use water. Water is life. Please help save our water. Contamination from coal mining will affect us all and no amount of filtering will make it safe for consumption.

Please come out to Reid's to support Water Not Coal. Let's keep the water clean for our fish.

Water contamination affects every home, hospital, care facility, food related business, agriculture, a lot of jobs and your health

How does this not affect you?

What ever you do, enjoy the weekend weather!

Tomorrow is suppose to be warm so come out to Big Bear Park with or without your dog and enjoy the summer temperatures. You will also have a chance to sign Water Not Coal to keep our water safe from toxins:

The Alberta government and the coal industry know that:

·    selenium is a poison and that coal mining in the Eastern Slopes results in it being liberated from rock overburden

·    coal mining has resulted in damaging concentrations of selenium, negatively affecting the aquatic environment and fish populations of many streams and rivers

·    there is no mine-scale solution to selenium pollution and likely never will be one. The evidence is that selenium pollution may last for generations.

2 events are posted. Whether you are going for a beer or going to a show at the Citadel both, Water Not Coal canvassers will be there.
