About the Fort McMurray area
The area
This page covers Statistics Canada's Census Division No. 16, the northeast corner of Alberta. It spans about 94,100 km² and had about 74,500 people in 2021. Nearly all live in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (about 72,300): Fort McMurray (about 68,000) and rural communities in boreal forest and lake country, including Saprae Creek Estates southeast of the city, Anzac on Gregoire Lake about 45 km southeast, Janvier, Conklin near Christina Lake, Fort McKay and Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca. Nine Indian reserves and Improvement District No. 24, which includes Wood Buffalo National Park, make up the rest.
History
This is Treaty 8 territory. The municipality names six First Nations (Athabasca Chipewyan, Mikisew Cree, Fort McKay, Fort McMurray 468, Chipewyan Prairie and Smith's Landing) and six Métis communities, among them McMurray Métis and Willow Lake Métis Nation. Fort Chipewyan began as a fur trade post in 1788 and is the oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Alberta. Fort McMurray grew from a Hudson's Bay Company post built in 1870; the Athabasca oil sands later made it the hub of a major oil region.
Services and access
Alberta Health Services runs Northern Lights Regional Health Centre in Fort McMurray, with a 24-hour emergency department and intensive care. Highway 63 is the southern gateway to Fort McMurray; Highway 881 runs from Lac La Biche through Conklin, Janvier and Anzac. Fort Chipewyan is reached by air, or by winter road in the cold months. Fort McMurray International Airport has Air Canada and WestJet flights to Calgary and Edmonton, and Air Canada to Toronto. Oil sands operations drive the economy.
Land and climate
A municipal program connects rural properties to piped water and sewer in Anzac, Conklin, Gregoire Lake Estates and Janvier, and to sewer only in Saprae Creek Estates. After a community's connection window closes, owners still on trucked water or sewage pick-up arrange it with private haulers. Spring breakup can jam ice on the Athabasca, Clearwater and Christina rivers.
Before you buy
The municipality's land use bylaw covers all land in Wood Buffalo except First Nations reserves, and most development needs a development permit. The municipality also issues building and private sewage permits; a new house needs a home warranty number or provincial Owner Builder Authorization. An ice jam flooded parts of Fort McMurray in April 2020; the province's flood study maps river hazards through the city on its Flood Awareness Map. The May 2016 wildfire forced almost 88,000 people out, burned about 589,000 ha and destroyed or damaged 1,958 structures. The municipality offers free FireSmart home assessments. Under Alberta's foreign ownership rules, buyers who are not citizens or permanent residents may hold at most two parcels totalling 20 acres of controlled land.
