The best travel insurance credit cards in Canada for 2024 + MORE May 19th

At Andrew Lake Lodge—a remote camp in the extreme northeast corner of Alberta—owner Dan Wettlaufer is looking forward to welcoming the first of this year’s crop of tourists this weekend. But the wildfire burning out of control near Fort McMurray could put a crimp in this year’s May long weekend and the start of the summer tourism season, Wettlaufer acknowledged. 

“There are no roads to our operations, it’s all fly-in, fly-out. So depending on what’s happening at any of the locations we fly from, it can definitely affect our ability to put on our trips,” Wettlaufer said. “We have people booked to come up this weekend through Fort McMurray. Fortunately, we do have some flexibility in that we could reroute them through Edmonton or Fort Smith (N.W.T.) if necessary.”
