REGISTER: Virtual Town Hall - Alberta Oil and Gas Well Cleanup Crisis

Time for Polluters to Clean Up Their Mess

You’ve heard the stories: aging oil and gas wells leaking toxic gases near homes across Alberta. Farmers losing acres of farmland to rusting, weed-ridden, forgotten wells. A multi-billion dollar cleanup bill coming due for oil and gas infrastructure across the province.

And now: the government of Alberta’s rigged plan, cooked up by industry insiders to make everyday Albertans pay for their cleanup costs.

What To Expect

On October 2nd, we’re gathering online with allies from across Alberta to expose the government’s drill-and-dash plan for oil and gas wells – and reveal our plan to stop industry from leaving us with the bill.

You’ll hear from:

• Phillip from the Coalition for Responsible Energy on the secret “Mature Asset Strategy”
• Alberta landowners dealing with abandoned wells on their property
• Lawyer Susanne Calabrese from Ecojustice exposing ethics violations by UCP insider David Yager
• Doctors from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment on toxic impacts threatening Alberta families

Then we’ll take action together – sending letters to MLAs in real time, turning our shared knowledge into immediate political pressure.

Why This Matters Now

Danielle Smith’s UCP government is pushing a new plan to let industry off the hook for cleanup. The “Mature Asset Strategy” was developed behind closed doors by UCP political insider and oil industry consultant David Yager – a brazen wish list giving industry more chances to profit, while the public and environment foot the multi-billion dollar bill.

Thousands of Albertans are saying enough is enough [1] to industry dining on profits when times are good, and dashing when the cleanup bill comes due.
