We look forward to exceeding your expectations and contributing to a sustainable future for all.
"the fire"
created & built by the
fort mckay métis nation
Fire is more than just a physical element in Indigenous culture. It symbolizes life, warmth, renewal, and fertility, embodying the very essence of their beliefs and traditions. The flame can bring or take new life away and requires the utmost care and attention.
For the Fort McKay Métis People, the “Fire” is a symbol and a reality built through sheer determination and entrepreneurial spirit. The McKay Métis Group results from their hard work and dedication, a flame ignited with the hope of bringing economic benefits to their community for generations to come.
As the People’s “Fire,” the McKay Métis Group provides tangible benefits to the Fort McKay Métis Nation, including employment opportunities and dividends that fund essential infrastructure, education, health care, and protection of their Constitutional rights. The Nation’s People steward the “Fire,” keeping it stoked and fueled to ensure its flames burn strong and sustained.
With each passing generation, more community members will get involved in the stewardship of the “Fire,” reigniting their culture and taking control of their narrative. The McKay Métis Group and Fort McKay Métis Nation will continue to work together, providing guidance and support to ensure the flame burns bright, providing a beacon of hope and prosperity for their community. The “Fire” of the Fort McKay Métis People will continue to burn, a testament to their strength, resilience, and unwavering spirit.
