The Fort McMurray International Airport (YMM) hosts annual events for the community to enjoy and as an opportunity to fundraise for local non-profits. Events include Easter, Halloween, and Christmas events.
These family-friendly events allow YMM to showcase the terminal and its amenities while also treating residents to an entertaining experience. Each event supports local social profits and community initiatives, such as the United Way Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo, the Wood Buffalo Food Bank, Santas Anonymous and many others.
Upcoming Community Events
YMM Digital Art Exhibit featuring Lynel Baguio – Join the Fort McMurray Airport Authority for the upcoming Digital Art Exhibit Launch Wednesday, May 1, from 6 – 7 p.m. on Level 3, in the Observation Area. The exhibit features Lynel Baguio’s Unraveling the Mosaic: Puzzling the Pieces of Our Region.
Keyano College’s third-year nursing student, Lynel Baguio, is the second of four artists selected to have an exhibit showcased at YMM in 2024.
Baguio aspires to work in long-term care facilities for seniors. As part of the exhibit launch, Baguio’s artwork will be transformed into puzzles and donated to the Golden Years Society, Rotary House Seniors Lodge, and the Willow Square Continuing Care Centre. These puzzles will serve as a meaningful way to piece together the beauty of our region, while bringing joy to residents in the care facilities.
Exhibit launch guests will enjoy light refreshments, live music, networking, and an opportunity to see Lynel’s full exhibit on display. His artwork will be featured for a three-month rotation throughout the YMM terminal.
