not have been possible, or at
least would have been far
less exciting and
naturalistic!
   Thank-you to Ken and
Diane Hill, Keith Haxton, and
Gerry Bussieres for sharing
some of your stories and
memories with me. I
appreciate the insight you've

given me on the history of
Fort McMurray and the earlier
schools in the area. Thanks
to Gerry Bussieres for the
maps you loaned Heritage
Park, and to Printers
Unlimited for printing large
copies of these historical
maps for our collection. I
would also like to thank

Irwin Huberman, author of The
Place We Call Home, for
donating the collection of
recorded interviews from your
book. I thoroughly enjoyed
listening to several
interviews from which I was
able to gain some background
information. I have included
short audio clips from a

couple of these interviews.
   Thanks to the Fort
McMurray Public School
District and the Fort
McMurray Catholic Board of
Education for information on
each of the current schools
in Fort McMurray and for your
participation with Heritage
Park. Thanks also to the
