What people are saying about us
“Western Canadians have a deep-rooted connection to the mountains and prairies that surround us. We need an independent voice that allows us to better understand where we have been and inform our debate about where we are going.”
- Deb Abbey, CEO & President, Real Assets Investment Management and author of “Global Profit and Global Justice – Using Your Money to Change the World”

“Each time I leave the city of Calgary, I am inspired by the big sky and natural landscapes that roll out in every direction. Across western Canada we are fortunate, city and country dwellers alike, to have a connection to the land that has been largely lost in many other places. This is important to me – it gives me a stronger sense of place. I also believe this characteristic can and must be preserved in a way that blends and balances the interests of the natural and the developed world. Western Canada must continue to be a place in which both our landscapes and sensible development are promoted – one without the other would make the West much less than it is today. For this reason, I strongly support the efforts of Prairie Peaks News to become a source of balanced information and debate around issues facing development and the environment.”
-Dan Gaynor, Dan Gaynor Consulting, Former President and Publisher of the Calgary Herald

“The environment and it’s natural resources are an essential part of our lives and livelihoods here in western Canada. People, as a result, need a source of reliable information on issues and events that affect these resources. Prairie Peaks News conveys what is needed – an unbiased, straightforward look at the issues pertinent to all western Canadians. As a bonus, it presents this information in a format that will facilitate discussion – even if ultimately, there is disagreement.”
-Janet Peace, Director, Climate Change Central

“Environmental issues are polarizing issues and everyone has a viewpoint. Industry, government and the residents of western Canada need an information source that takes an independent and unbiased approach to the facts available.”
