In August 2012, two artists traveled to Fort Chipewyan to take part in the Wood Buffalo Artist in Residency Program (you can learn more about this program by visiting http://www.woodbuffalo.ab.ca/artist)
One of the artists, Alisdair MacRae, worked closely with the Fort Chipewyan Bicentennial Museum and Mr. Oliver Glanfield to produce a project about the region and its history.
Mr. MacRae has created a website for his project. If you are interested in learning more about this project, please visit:
