Castle Project Essential

Reference Number

Text

The Castle Project is essential to the communities in the Elk Valley and surrounding areas. Teck has shown a serious commitment to mining in a sustainable manner with extreme regard for the environment. As a resident of Elkford, BC I have seen first hand the steps taken by Teck to address the environmental impact of their operations and the concerns of the surrounding communities. Our world still requires steel, and the coal produced in our area is key for this. We should be encouraging the mining of coal by companies like Teck that have such a strong commitment to environmental excellence. At the end of the day coal mining does have a major impact on the local environment; this is inevitable when literally moving mountains. However, Teck works hard to mitigate this impact in whatever ways they can. This project will help our local communities to continue to thrive.
