The Community Cleanup Kickoff event, originally scheduled for May 14, has been rescheduled to May 21 due to inclement weather.

Event Details:

• New Date: Thursday, May 21, 2026
• Time: 12 – 1:30 p.m.
• Location: kiyām Community Park
• Supplies will be provided. No need to register.

All residents, businesses and community groups are encouraged to join us on the new date for a successful – and hopefully much sunnier – start to the cleanup season.

A Special Council Meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. on May 19 in the Anzac Recreation Centre (pursuant to Section 194 of the Municipal Government Act, RSA. 2000 c.M-26), to consider bylaw amendments and Councillor motions specific to Anzac. 

You’re invited to join the conversation on improving winter maintenance in Fort McMurray. Your input will help identify where adjustments are needed and help inform updates to the Municipal Urban Snow and Ice Control Policy (OPE-150).

A Special Council Meeting is being held at the Anzac Recreation Centre on May 19. Community members are also invited to participate in free activities held at Camp Yogi earlier on the same day, to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Horse River Wildfire.

Community members are invited to join together for a gathering to recognize the 10-year anniversary of the Horse River Wildfire. While this date brings mixed emotions for many, it’s also a time to recognize the strength of the community and how far we have come together.

River breakup is now complete. There is no longer a significant risk of ice jams causing flooding along the Clearwater and Athabasca rivers in Fort McMurray and surrounding areas. The Evacuation Alert for Draper has been lifted and the Ice Jam Watch has ended for the Clearwater River.
