Who We Are

C4RE is a coalition of landowners, scientists, surface rights advocates, and Indigenous, environmental, human health and civil society organizations. The coalition formed around a shared concern about the AER’s failure to function as a credible regulator of energy development in Alberta, and its inability to meet its own stated mandate to “provide safe, orderly, and environmentally responsible energy development.” C4RE demands sweeping changes to the way the fossil fuel energy industry is regulated in Alberta to begin prioritizing the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Communities, Alberta’s ecosystems, and the public.

PRESS RELEASE:“Get the hell off my land” Landowner blockades MAGA Energy’s access to wellsite after three years of unpaid rent

His message for the Alberta Energy Regulator: “Do your damn job – or landowners are going to take action and protect themselves.” (Edmonton, AB) – After three years of unpaid rent on an active wellsite run by MAGA Energy Inc, an Alberta landowner took action today, tearing up the company’s lease and blockading their access […]

Joint Statement: Canada and Alberta join forces to trample Indigenous Rights and weaken environmental protections in return for fossil fuel expansion, while ignoring cleanup problem

The MOU demonstrates that both governments are committed to serving the interests of oil and gas companies and their wealthy executives at the expense of all Canadians, Indigenous Peoples, and the air, land, and water we all depend on.

New Poll: Supermajority of Albertans want oil and gas companies to cover costs of well cleanup, unpaid municipal taxes and landowner rents

“Albertans don’t agree on a lot these days,” says pollster Janet Brown, “but our research shows they overwhelmingly want the oil and gas industry to pay their bills.”
