Coal Mines Keep Crow's Nest Pass Crown as Western Canada's Largest Field
The Crow's Nest Pass mines remain Western Canada's biggest coal field, supplying over a third of Alberta's production. In the past year Alberta's coal industry paid more than 5.5 million dollars in wages while facing a notable production drop from 7.19 million tons in 1952 to 5.85 million in 1953. Despite declines, officials foresee a stronger long term future with coal turbine engine development and Alberta's vast reserves estimated at 47.87 billion tons, about 48 percent of Canada’s total and a significant share of world deposits.
