STOP THE SCOTT PIT!
PROTECT BEARSPAW!
Heidelberg IS A Threat to Our Community
Over the last 30 years, Rocky View County rejected three proposals for the Scott Pit, located on the north side of Burma Road between Range Road 25 and Rocky Ridge Road.
Now, for a fourth time, our community is being asked to defend itself against a proposed industrial-scale gravel operation in the heart of Bearspaw. Rather than seeking approval from Rocky View County, Heidelberg asked the Province to have the Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) decide whether the pit is “in the public interest” – potentially overriding three previous decisions by our elected municipal government.
This is a critical moment for our community!
A strong, unified community voice through the Bearspaw Community Coalition (BCC) will maximize our ability to present an effective case at the NRCB.
Please sign the coalition’s consent form and demonstrate that our community stands together.
About the Coalition
The Bearspaw Community Coalition (BCC) represents several hundred residents of Bearspaw and surrounding communities who are committed to protecting the character, safety, and long-terms sustainability of our country residential communities.
Our mission is straightforward – to protect our community from the significant impacts of the proposed Scott Pit – a large-scale industrial operation that would extract and process gravel in the heart of Bearspaw for decades.
The NRCB process is fundamentally different than a municipal process. Its decisions are based on technical evidence, expert testimony, and legal arguments. Successfully responding to Heidelberg’s application requires expertise, resources, and coordinated preparation.
The BCC was formed to bring those resources together. No individual resident can reasonably assemble the evidence and expertise required for a proceeding of this scale. Working together gives our community the strongest possible voice and the best opportunity to ensure our concerns are heard and carefully considered.
We all have a role to play in protecting our community!
