It’s the one year anniversary of the Fort McMurray wildfires that caused mass evacuation and changes of epic proportions in many Albertan’s lives.

Though the fires tested the strength of individuals and families, there’s still nothing Alberta can’t handle. We were strong then, and still are now.

Thank you to everyone who was involved with the rebuild. Thank you to all the first responders, the fire fighters, RCMP, Police, and all the heroes who protected the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Thank you to everyone who donated, bought a bumper sticker and opened their homes to evacuees. Alberta IS strong. THANK YOU.

 

In recognition of the anniversary, MacLean’s Canada has provided links to conversations with the Wildfire refugees, blogs about Fort Mac, and more.
