4/8 Eight evacuation orders remain active across the province. Yellowhead County forced residents from Peers, Mercoal, and Robb as out-of-control fires shut down provincial highways. Officials are developing re-entry plans but safety concerns persist.

Or if they move for work, it's a temporary work camp, not a home. ... unless it's to Ft McMurray (and that place is going to have mega challenges if/when we turn the taps off).

Our province is littered with resource ghost towns. Yet people refuse to learn or accept this.

A poster of logos and names of Ghost Towns of Alberta... in a roughly grid-organization with 8 columns and 10 rows. After 5 rows of names and logos, there's a break with a large font title "The Ghost Towns Of ALBERTA" Towns include: Alderson, Amber Valley, Bankhead, Bindloss, Bow City, Coalspur, DelBonita, Endiang, Flowerdale, Hartshorn, Luscar, Mercoal, Mountain Park, Nordegg, Princess, Skunk Hollow, Tail Creek, Wardlow, Whitford, and Windfall. The bottom of the poster has a quote from Rudyard Kipling: "This part of the country seems to have all hell for a basement."
