Alberta premier Peter Lougheed tours Grande Cache amid coal mine strain with 84 layoffs and 650 miners facing uncertainty. He pledges to study local briefs, push national energy policy, and consider tourism and rail options while noting provincial limits.

The town split into three camps seeks tourism as diversification with no nearby campsites and inadequate transport. Local business owner John Tiberio cites lost revenue and abandoned plans while residents call for provincial aid, land release, and new roads to Grande Prairie to attract visitors including river race participants from distant lands. Juvenile delinquency adds to concerns as recreation facilities fail to draw teens.
