COMMUNITY FINANCIAL

HIGHLIGHTS

TAKING CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Like any small Canadian community, Fort McKay First Nation
builds and maintains required infrastructure such as roads,
schools and community centres to meet the needs of its growing
population. The Nation also provides after-school programs,
runs an alternative high school, provides youth programs and
sports teams, as well as an Elders’ Centre, and a Continuing
Care Centre. The Nation also pays the salaries and benefit costs
for its administration staff, teachers, doctors, nurses and other
specialists providing community services.

Each year, the Nation creates a budget to provide these critical
programs and services. On average, 5-10% of the funds for the
budget are received by federal or provincial sources (approx.
$3-4M). The remaining 90-95% is generated by FMFN through
business profits from its 12 companies, sometimes supplemented
by oil sands partners, and business investments.
