Jada Polem’s flight from the fiery furnace of Fort McMurray on her horse Mya last May is still a vivid memory for the 16-year-old. Mya and another of Polem’s three horses, Ellie, only returned to their barn in Fort McMurray Sept. 15 to be reunited with Polem. “It’s just absolute mass craziness because in Fort McMurray you have one way in and one way out,” Lodge told the CBC at the time. Billboards along the roads and signs outside businesses in Fort McMurray spell out the city’s welcome to the returning evacuees. “My biggest loss,” she says,” is seeing what everyone else went through and lost.”She also finds it hard that some people have not returned to Fort McMurray.
