Canada's coal production has been consistent over the past decade, but a downturn in global demand is wounding the industry.

Though Canada has maintained steady production in recent years, largely through exports, a decrease in demand from countries such as China has halted production in some Canadian coal mines.

Coal is a fossil fuel which has been used as a source of energy in Canada since the 18th century. Canada is home to a tenth of the world's coal resources, the majority of which (over 90 per cent) are found in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
