I am on my last stretch of mission here in Fort McMurray. It’s my first time to come here and see the beauty of the place. I thought the way to Fort McMurray was a winding narrow steep and by the cliff road. I also thought that Fort Mc was like one of those small town where after a 500meters there’s no more establishment. I thought this place was small and somewhere you just want to be for a weekend. However, I stand corrected. When I thought it was a small insignificant city, I was wrong. There are giants here, like those photos above. (That was taken near the camp where all those mining companies are). I learned that Fort Mc is the one getting the oil from below but it is Edmonton that does the distribution. No wonder Edmonton has cheaper gas then Fort Mc – an average of $10 difference.
I guess that’s how it is. Like Fort Mc, we don’t have to wait and take the credit if we do something good or worthwhile. When we give, we give without telling the whole world but we make sure that it will reach many people. This city is actually a sleeping giant, not because it has those big machines but because of the richness within it.
