At the Nov. 25 meeting, Council approved Administration’s recommendations to adjust several user rates for Municipal services. The updated rates will take effect April 1, 2026. 

While there are no changes to most rates, increases have been made for some municipal services. Certain fees have also been decreased or removed.

A community tradition marks a milestone this year as the Stuff-A-Bus toy drive celebrates its tenth anniversary. RMWB Transit is again partnering with Santas Anonymous, a student-led program at Father Mercredi High School to gather toys and donations for local children and families.

Nominate your neighbour with the best festive displays today on rmwb.ca/NYN. 

All nominees will receive a recognition lawn sign and a certificate from the Wood Buffalo Communities in Bloom committee.

Transit riders can expect improvements to transit services in Fort McMurray at the end of November. These changes are based on ridership data and reflect feedback received from riders, operators and the public since the launch of the new Transit system in August.
