Description

Fort McMurray lies next to the Athabasca Oil Sands, the largest of the four main Canadian oil sand deposits. Increasing oil prices and growing tensions in the Middle East and Russia makes this source Americas first choice to combat their dependency on Middle Eastern Oil.

Currently 62% of Fort McMurray's population is working for an oil company or contractor. The large workforce required is placing a strain on the local housing market, to keep up with current demand for labour oil workers are being flown in on a daily basis and oil companies are housing workers in camps on site.

The population of Fort McMurray has doubled in 5 years due to this demand and is expected to increase by another 30,000 by 2011 to over 100,000 people.

Due to the rapid rise in population there is already a housing deficit of 4,000 houses and with the prediction of growth a further 10,000 houses will be required. In total 14,000 houses will be required before 2011.
