CMAG's primary focus to-date has been to facilitate the development of oil and gas in the area in a way that respects the community and industry.

• Education and the sharing of information are important to CMAG. To help bring more information to the general public CMAG has hosted two public information events: Coal Bed Methane Information Night, featuring speakers from the Pembina Institute, the Canadian Society for Unconventional Gas or CSUG and the Wheatland Surface Rights Action Group. The second event focused on water and featured speakers from Alberta Environment, the David Thompson Health Region and CSUG.
• The group has also helped individuals work to resolve issues and concerns with industry.
• Members have created a series of Best Management Practices to guide energy industry activity in the area. They have also created some information documents to share with the public to help clear up confusion and misunderstandings.
• CMAG also played an important role in helping Apache communicate its plans for a large CBM project in the area, both as the project was getting off the ground, and later as it was scaled back.
