Answer Fort McMurray is located in an area of oil sands that were actually used to waterproof their canoes. In 1790, the explorer Alexander MacKenzie made the first recorded description of the oil sands. By that time, trading between the explorers and the Cree was already occurring at the confluence of the Clearwater and Athabasca Rivers. The Hudson's Bay Company and the North West company were in fierce competition in this region. 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.

Yes. Jim Hagan did write the song "What's your hurry Fort McMurray" a couple of years after teaching at Peter Pond School, Fort McMurray. It was written in the early 70's and became very popular. When Fort McMurray had parades during the 70's there was usually one or more floats playing the song. There were also 127 dozen copies of a T-shirt which had the slogan "What's your hurry Fort McMurray" with an illustration of a variety of people running around an oil patch. Jim Hagan currently resides in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. There are a few rare copies still around of the original 7" (45RPM) record. Release Date: 1978.
