The RMWB is allocating funds to create new signs along Highways 63 and 881.
Wood Buffalo council met on Tuesday, continuing the meeting they paused last week, where they approved using $34,000 for signs acknowledging how the region is in Treaty 8 and Unceded Métis Territory.
Around $10,000 will be used on land surveying, land acquisition, as well as regulatory and environmental work for each location.
They won’t be built until they get feedback from Indigenous communities on the exact wording.
The plan is to put one on Highway 63, heading north, just before entering Fort McMurray, while the other will be set up on Highway 881, traveling south, just after the Highway 63 turnoff.

We’ve all experienced difficulty, a loss of normalcy and isolation from family and friends during the pandemic. Many foster youths, already separated from parents and siblings, have battled more loneliness and trauma.
