Why live in Fort McMurray?

Situated smack dab in the centre of the Athabasca oil sands, Fort McMurray grew to the size it is today due to the oil and gas industry. There’s no denying that this industry has had a serious impact on the city and continues to have one today. Primarily, the proximity of the city to the tar sands has resulted in ample economic opportunities, including many high-paying jobs in the energy sector. As you might suspect, many of the biggest employers in Fort McMurray are oil companies, such as Syncrude, Suncor, Shell, and ExxonMobil. That said, as times have changed and the world begins to move away from the consumption of oil, Fort McMurray has adapted and diversified their economy. Now, there are also a number of jobs in the growing transportation, logistics, construction, environmental, and tourism industries. Regardless of your preferred industry, the job market is strong in Fort McMurray, which is just one of the reasons that people choose to move to this northern Alberta city. On top of this, the cost of living in Fort McMurray is significantly lower than in many other Canadian cities. Housing is below the national average and gas prices are far cheaper than you will find in other parts of the country. Attractions that make Fort McMurray an exciting place to live include the Fort McMurray Heritage Village, the Oil Sands Discovery Centre, Peter Pond Mall, the Fort McMurray Golf Club, and Vista Ridge All Seasons Park. Locals can also have fun at the city’s bowling alley, escape room centre, and wellness spa. Given the city’s more remote location, you can bet that getting outdoors is a popular pastime among locals. MacDonald Island Park, Borealis Park, Gipsy Lake Wildland Provincial Park, Hangingstone Provincial Recreation Area, Engstrom Lake Provincial Recreation Area, and Maqua Lake Provincial Recreation Area all provide ample opportunities to enjoy nature. Activities that you can partake in include swimming, boating, hiking, camping, snowmobile, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Finally, despite its small size, sports abound in Fort McMurray. The region is home to several teams, leagues, and clubs, like the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), the Fort McMurray Giants of the Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL), and the Keyano Huskies of the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference (ACAC).

Quality and diversity of education in Fort McMurray

The Fort McMurray Public School District (FMPSD) and Fort McMurray Catholic School Division jointly run the region’s public schools.

Meanwhile, private schools include North Fort Private School, Fort McMurray Christian School, and Fort McMurray Montessori Group of Schools. When it comes to post-secondary school, there is one college in Fort McMurray: Keyano College. Keyano College primarily specializes in training oil workers, many of whom end up working at the Athabasca Tar Sands. That said, the province of Alberta at large is home to many top-rated universities. For example, Edmonton, which is roughly four and a half hours south of Fort McMurray, is home to the University of Alberta, the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, MacEwan University, the University of Lethbridge - Edmonton Campus, Concordia University of Edmonton, The King’s University, Athabasca University - Edmonton, and CDI College.

Something wonderful about Fort McMurray

Want to hear something interesting about Fort McMurray? Despite the name, the city was never a fort. Back in 1870, the Hudson’s Bay Company erected a trading post in the region, naming it after chief trader William McMurray. Fast forward over 75 years to 1947 when Fort McMurray integrated with the neighbouring community of Waterways to become the village of McMurray. It wasn’t until 1962 that the word “Fort” was added to the name. This was done to reflect the region’s history as a trade hub, even though it was never technically a fort, only a post.
