Single Mom Who Built Forever Timeless Celebrates Grand Reopening in Fort McMurray

🎉 What started as a single mother's determination to provide for her children has grown into a family-run business celebrating a major milestone in Fort McMurray.

Forever Timeless is celebrating its grand reopening today, October 18, from 11am to 5pm, inviting residents to stop by, explore the store, and enjoy special discounts.

❤️ Owner Laura started the business from scratch approximately six years ago, beginning in a modest 700-square-foot space. Since then, she's worked to transform Forever Timeless into a one-stop destination for formalwear for men, women, and children.

Laura says building a business in Fort McMurray hasn't been easy. With online shopping and trips out of town often competing with local retailers, her family has worked hard to offer residents more selection, convenience, and reasons to shop close to home.

👗 Today, Forever Timeless carries everything from wedding gowns and prom dresses to men's suits, shoes, and accessories. The store offers inclusive sizing, a large big-and-tall selection, an on-site seamstress, payment plans, and price matching.

For Laura and her family, this grand reopening represents years of determination, growth, and the challenges of building something of their own right here in Fort McMurray.

🎈 Residents visiting today's celebration can enjoy refreshments and participate in a Pop the Balloon promotion, with discounts ranging from 5% to 50%!

📍 8106 Fraser Avenue, Unit 29, Fort McMurray
🕚 Today, October 18 | 11am to 5pm

Explosion reported at a military base in Alberta.

People have died and others have been injured following a serious incident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright on Saturday, October 17. Defence Minister David McGuinty confirmed the fatalities and injuries, according to Reuters, but did not release casualty numbers.

The Canadian Press reported an explosion and fire at the military base. Officials have not confirmed what caused the incident.

The emergency prompted a major medical response. According to the Associated Press, injured patients were transported to Edmonton hospitals after nearby health-care facilities were overwhelmed. The Canadian Press also reported that STARS dispatched two air ambulances to Wainwright, one from Edmonton and another from Saskatoon.

Strong winds pushed the fire beyond the base's perimeter into surrounding rural areas. According to the Associated Press, the Municipal District of Wainwright reported late Saturday that firefighters were holding the fire. No evacuation orders had been issued at that time.

The Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP are investigating. Officials have not released a casualty count or confirmed the cause.

A powerful El Niño is developing in the Pacific, and it could mean a warmer winter for Alberta.

According to NOAA’s October 8 update, there is an 83% chance this El Niño could surpass previous records dating back to 1950 during October to December 2026.

The last similarly powerful El Niño occurred during the winter before the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, although that doesn’t mean history will repeat itself.

El Niño often brings milder winters to Western Canada, including Fort McMurray. However, cold snaps and heavy snowfall are still possible.

What’s your prediction for Fort McMurray’s winter this year?

A Fort McMurray man is facing several charges following two incidents involving Wood Buffalo RCMP on Sept. 17.

Police say officers responded to an assault at Rivers Casino around 12:53 a.m. Two victims were identified, with one sustaining minor injuries.

At approximately 2:18 a.m., the same man was stopped on the Athabasca River Bridge and arrested for impaired operation. Police allege he refused to exit his vehicle and drove away. Officers did not pursue due to public safety concerns.

Around 3:20 a.m., he was located at his residence and arrested without further incident.

Dillon Sacrey, 33, faces two counts of assault, impaired operation, failure or refusal to comply with a demand, and obstruction of a peace officer.

He is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 4.
