MESSAGES

During emergencies and disasters such as the wildfires, we turn to elected officials and other leaders for guidance and support. They create a framework that allows them to maintain a strong leadership role, while allowing the first responders to do their job. They ensure accurate information is given to the public, something that the province, country, and world were looking for during the weeks following the evacuation.

For this commemorative edition we’ve put together a collection of messages from our Mayor, Members of Legislative Assembly, Member of Parliament, Premier, and Prime Minister. Each and every one of them played a role during the wildfires, and we thank them for sharing their thoughts.

Our community has undergone a great change. Before the fire, we were a buzzing boom-town. We were the go-to destination for Canadians who knew the value of hard work. On a day we will never forget, when the fire approached our city, our lives came to a halt.

The wildfires in northern Alberta have left the residents of Fort McMurray and other northern communities with a number of challenges. Some left their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. As residents return to Fort McMurray and begin to rebuild, they will have to call on…

Welcome home, Fort McMurray You have shown incredible patience and tremendous courage over the past several weeks. As you return to your city, I want you to know that, although things may look difficult and uncertain and – at times – perhaps almost hopeless, you are not alone. Canadians are…
