	Athabasca Oil Sands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Athabasca oil sands are named after the Athabasca River which cuts through the heart of the deposit, and traces of the heavy oil are readily observed on the river banks.
		The Athabasca oil sands are primarily located in and around the city of Fort McMurray which was still, in the late 1950s, primarily a wilderness outpost of a few hundred people whose main economic activities included fur trapping and salt mining.
		The Athabasca Oil Sands are now featured prominently in international trade talks, with energy rivals China and the United States both negotiating with Canada for a bigger share of the oil sands' rapidly increasing output.

	Fort McMurray, Alberta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fort McMurray, colloquially referred to as Fort Mac, is a hamlet in the northeastern part of Canada's western province of Alberta, in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta.
		Fort McMurray was established there as a Hudson's Bay Company post by 1870, and continued to operate as a transportation stopover in the decades afterwards.
		Fort McMurray and Waterways amalgamated as the village of McMurray (the "Fort" was dropped until 1962, when it was restored to reflect its heritage) by 1947, and became a town a year later.

		The Athabasca Oil Sands (previously known as the Athabasca Tar sands) have estimated oil reserves in excess of that of the rest of the world, estimated to be 1.6 trillion barrels (254 km³).
		Fort McMurray, one of Canada's youngest and liveliest cities, has grown up entirely because of the large multinational corporations which have taken on the task of oil production.
		The first explorer of the Athabasca region was Peter Pond, who, on behalf of the North-West Company of Montreal, built Fort Athabasca on Lac La Biche in 1778.

	MHS Transactions: The Red River Cart and Trails: The Fur Trade
		After Fort Pelly was established as headquarters of the Swan River district in 1824, it was an alternative route to Fort Garry, instead of the old winter route [24] of Swan River, Lake Winnipegosis, Lake Manitoba and thence southeast to the Red River.
		Thus in 1824 the trail from Fort Garry was along the Assiniboine to Fort Pelly and thence west to the vicinity of Quill Lakes.
		Fort Pelly, situated on the Upper Assiniboine River, was in a strategic location and therefore a pivotal point, through which the trade passed to the embarkation point on Swan Lake for York Factory.

		At Athabasca Landing, since it was not known just when the Head would arrive, the local official charged all his clerks and minions to be ready at the sound of a whistle to salute and fall into line for inspection.
		Athabasca Landing was the portal through which they passed, and by every northward stream they travelled,--down the Athabasca toward the Mackenzie and up the Athabasca to the Peace, leaving stranded men and stranded boats on every shore.
		At its confluence with the Clearwater the Athabasca is perhaps three-quarters of a mile wide, and it maintains a steady current with a somewhat contracting channel to the point of its discharge into Lake Athabasca in latitude 58° 36' North.

		Fort McMurray will certainly be the battle ground, but the CPC team in Athabasca should be able to mobilize their supporters in Fort McMurray and indeed across the riding.

		Its most populous city and metropolitan area, Calgary, is Alberta's commerce centre and is located in the southern region of the province.
		These three larger lakes are Lake Athabasca (7898 km²), part of which lies in the province of Saskatchewan, Lake Claire (1436 km²), which lies just west of Lake Athabasca in Wood Bufflao National Park, and Lesser Slave Lake (1168 km²), which is well northwest of Edmonton.
		As Alberta extends for 1200 km from north to south, and about 600 km wide at its greatest east-west extent, it is natural that the climate should vary considerably between the 49th and 60th parallels.

		Athabasca Landing was the portal through which they passed, and by every northward stream they travelled,—down the Athabasca toward the Mackenzie and up the Athabasca to the Peace, leaving stranded men and stranded boats on every shore.
		June 6th at a quarter of seven saw the whole populace of Athabasca Landing on the river bank—dogs, babies, the officials of the Hudson's Bay, parson, priest, police, and even the barkeep,—and with the yelping of dogs and "Farewell, Nistow!" we are off.

		So they said, 'Fort McMurray might be open, we'll get back to you.' Two days after the writ was dropped, the western regional director, Kent Davidson, gave me a call and said, 'If you're interested, Athabasca-Fort McMurray is available.' I said sure.
		There's more to the story of Fort McMurray than the simple question of whether it can be slotted into a red or blue column, just as there's so much more to the story of Montreal or Waterloo or Windsor or Prince Rupert or Halifax.
