A Shout Out to Fort McMurray

There are over 10,000 Newfoundlanders living and working in Fort McMurray, Alberta. That’s about 20 percent of the entire population. And there are thousands of other Newfoundlanders who have travled back and forth along the jet route from St. John’s airport to Fort McMurray. Fort Mac is actually the third largest city of Newfoundlanders anywhere in the world, including in Newfoundland and Labrador.

So here’s a shout out to all current and former NL compatriots in Fort McMurray. I hope you enjoy your Jiggs Dinner for supper and your baloney and beans for breakfast. And if you want a good Newfoundland yarn to pass away the long winter, pick up a copy of The Walker on the Cape right there at Coles in Fort McMurray. Tell them that Windflower sent you.
