Drumheller Valley Mining Centennial Video - Long Version

It's 1911. A wheelbarrow laden with coal emerges from a dark hole. In the blink of an eye and the toss of a coin, Drumheller is born. Dozens of coal mines open, thousands of men pour in, and communities spring up around every pithead. Every language in Europe is spoken on the streets of the bustling downtown. For the next 50 years, coal defined Drumheller. In all, 139 mines were registered, from Nacmine to Wayne to East Coulee. As natural gas replaced coal for home heating, mines closed and the industry declined. The Atlas was the last mine to operate, and produced coal until 1979. By then, oil and gas, agriculture, and tourism ruled the Drumheller economy, and Coal was no longer King. It's 2011. The entire community celebrates the Drumheller Valley Mining Centennial. Special events are planned all across the valley, and new tales will bubble up from the bedrock itself.
