FORT McMURRAY, Alta. – Syncrude joins Wood Buffalo and southern Alberta flooding relief efforts with a $150,000 donation.
One of the hardest-hit organizations in the Wood Buffalo region, the Fort McMurray Historical Society, will receive a $75,000 cash donation to assist with a technical assessment to help preserve our region’s proud history.
