Travel options to Fort McMurray 

There are a few flights into Fort McMurray (YMM); many prefer to drive. It is approximately 5 hours from Edmonton, with travel on a 4-lane highway. If you choose to drive, please let GMG know if you are looking for a rideshare (offer or need) and we can connect attendees. 

Return to the Best Western after the tour will not be until 4:15-4:30 pm; it is a 25 min drive from there to the airport. 

 

Note: If PPE is required, it will be provided at the mine. No need to pack your own.
