2018 Annual Calgary Gala

The Calgary Gala is SOLD OUT! Thank you for everyone who has registered.

If you would like to be placed on the waiting list – please contact Gloria Truong.

Tickets are still available for our May 10th Aboriginal Economic Development Conference. More information HERE.

Join us as we celebrate and honour Fort McKay First Nation (FMFN) Fort McKay Group of Companies (FMGOC) as the recipient of the CCAB 2018 Aboriginal Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) of the Year Award. The Founder and Exclusive Award sponsor is Sodexo.

Given its geographic location, Fort McKay has championed many opportunities to work with the forestry, oil sands, and pipeline industries in Alberta. Over time, they became known for their commitment to  establishing and maintaining positive partnerships with surrounding industry while still preserving their cultural values.

FMFN made its first major foray into business in 1986 when it established the Fort McKay Group of Companies (FMGOC), which is fully owned and operated by the Fort McKay First Nation. In addition to this FMFN has also established numerous joint venture companies. It is this progressive collaboration that continues to contribute to a legacy of pride and promises a brighter future for generations to come.

By forming constructive partnerships, Fort McKay First Nation is able to implement the necessary framework to support progressive economic, industrial, and social developments in the region.
