'The contracting for recovery and cleanup is being led from Fort McMurray by residents of Fort McMurray.' The Alberta government says Fort McMurray employers have received four out of every five contracts to rebuild the fire-damaged community. Bilous says businesses from outside the region are given contracts only if there are no local businesses to do the work. Any business that is either locally owned or employs people in the Fort McMurray area is considered a local employer. "The contracting for recovery and cleanup is being led from Fort McMurray by residents of Fort McMurray, and they have done an excellent job of ensuring local employers are being used whenever possible."
