Re-imagining Crowsnest Pass: Findings ways of redeveloping/reskilling a coal mining community
(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Uribe Alaniz Francisco
While world leaders gathered in Glasgow to decide strategies to face climate change at the 2021 COP26 conference, small communities around the world, dependent on current energy practices, struggle to come to terms and adapt to the phaseout of traditional energy sources. The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in the Canadian Rockies is a coal mining community needing to reimagine its future to redevelop and reskill a dwindling economy. Through a community-based participatory research collaboration between citizens and students, using mixed methods of spatial analysis and morphology, public participatory processes and experiential learning, a series of redevelopment and reskilling strategies were drafted. Through a comprehensive analytical approach to find future potential, many opportunities arose, building confidence in existing assets and generating new ideas for change. Design ideas were drafted based on a rich cultural and natural landscape. Different scenarios and strategies for investment and redevelopment could drive fundraising efforts at the local, provincial and federal levels. Those ideas were very well received by the community. Students and community members became a great partnership: respectful, enthusiastic and empathetic. While implementation will be difficult, the redevelopment strategies and the processes itself presents a renewed impetus for change with an optimistic view for the future for Crowsnest Pass.
