| FLOOD
Sadly our beautiful Heritage Park is in ruins.
Because of amazing and caring people, we were able to remove more of the artifacts, archives, our office files and computers from the buildings. The historical buildings have flooded and we have been assessing the damages. Heritage Park Gift Shop and the main building is safe and dry and the Gift Shop will be opening on Tuesday, July 2nd!
We are encouraged and very thankful for the support we continue to receive from
E-Construction management & staff
Brad & Dunvegan staff
Wilson Industries
Smitty's
ATCO Power
RCMP, Peace Officers & Sheriffs
Forestry staff

I am extremely graceful to Torchy Peden, because of his knowledge and insight on the rising waters of the rivers, early Monday morning, June 10th we began to move our archives and artifacts to higher grounds and many of our assets have placed in storage units.
Many, many thanks to Brad & Carmen Ramstead (our Society President), Tammy Plowman (my daughter) and Torchy Peden who continue to keep watch and give directions at the park.
Thank you to our Heritage Park's staff Tammy, Elisa, Emma, Nastassia, Susan, Nick, Eva, Tyler, Kailey, Heather and all our summer students for their hard work during these times.
Words can not express how appreciative I am to all the incredible volunteers who have been showing up to help in so many ways.
Though these are difficult and trying times, with the support of our community, Heritage Park will once again be a beautiful, beautiful place! |

We are seeking assistance!
Unfortunately, we have never been granted flood insurance as Heritage Park is located on a flood plain. There is a tremendous amount of clean up needed to the landscaping, the buildings and the artifacts. If you or your company is willing to assist us, it would be greatly appreciated! As our Executive Director, Roseann Davidson says "Our Heritage Park is in ruins." This is a very difficult and devastating time for us as we have worked hard over the years to get the park to where it was.
If you are able & willing to assist us by donating you can click on the big red heart at the top, right of this page. If you would like to donate with cheque, it can be made out to: Fort McMurray Historical Society. If you would like to use a credit card or debit, visit us at 1 Tolen Dr. We sincerely thank you for supporting us in this way!!
If you would like to volunteer, please email reception@fortmcmurrayhistory.com Be sure to include your full name, email address & phone number(s), what you are interested in helping with and when. Please be patient, we are working through a number of issues and we may not be able to contact you immediately but we will.
