ABOUT US
MANAGING AND UNDERSTANDING
HAVING AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF OUR COMMUNITIES IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE WAY WE WORK.
The Fort McKay Group of Companies (FMGOC)
recognizes that cleanup and recovery efforts in Fort
McMurray, and the surrounding affected areas, after
the fire will be a significant endeavor that requires a
well-coordinated services. The FMGOC’s staff, clients
and business partners have all been significantly
impacted by this disaster, as well as the community of
Fort McKay itself
To address this challenge, we have brought together
a group of complementary businesses to assist in
Fort McMurray’s recovery. This is not a joint venture
or new company, but rather a consortium of local
companies coming together take part in cleaning up
and rebuilding our community - Fort McMurray and
outlining area.

FORT MCKAY FIRST NATION
FIRE RECOVERY IN FORT MCMURRAY AND WOOD BUFFALO
THE COMMUNITY OF FORT MCKAY IS LOCATED IN THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF WOOD BUFFALO (RMWB),
40
MINUTES NORTH OF FORT MCMURRAY.
Fort McKay assisted in the emergency response
through deploying its Firefighter Department, sheltering
evacuees and well as a number of its member owned
businesses provided emergency response services
such as camps, busing, water and medical.
Thankfully, Fort McKay’s infrastructure and community
was not damaged. However, many community
members and staff who have homes in Fort McMurray
have been displaced.
These efforts will be primarily conducted through the
FMGOC and the three business partners it has
assembled to collaborate on the fire recovery efforts.
This Consortium will also provide subcontracting
opportunities to local independent business from Fort
McKay. In addition, subcontracting opportunities will
be provided to other First Nations businesses
including Seven Lakes Oilfield and Canada First
Management Corporation.
With cleanup and rebuilding plans underway, the
Nation will also take a significant role in these efforts.
