What it is

Fort McMurray people were tired of chasing information across Facebook groups, websites and old posts. YMM Connect puts the useful local tools in one place.

We are not here to replace Facebook or any social media. Keep your groups and your friends there. YMM Connect is a practical toolbox for getting things done in town (buses, roads, garbage day, buying, selling, hiring), so there is no open public feed and no comment section.

We work with local people, not against them. Businesses can link their Facebook pages and we are happy to promote them. We are just trying to make things easier for everybody.

Your day

A live Fort McMurray map with buses, roads and 511, weather, alerts, garbage day reminders, events, recreation and emergency services.

Your shift

My Shift: enter your own shift, bus and flight, and tap on time, running late or cancelled so your neighbours know how the bus is doing.

Local life

Marketplace, Trading Post swaps, in-app messages, pets (lost and found), Hired Help errands and delivery with vetted drivers, and rewards for being a good neighbour.

Local business

A directory of about 300 Fort McMurray businesses, free business pages, job posts, and a counter QR so customers can scan in. Bronze listings are free.

Private and independent.
  • Your address and phone number are never shown. Messages stay inside the app.
  • Barrels (rewards) are never money. They can't be cashed out or sent to anyone.
  • YMM Connect is not part of Suncor, Syncrude, CNRL, any bus company, the airport or the municipality. Check official sources when timing or safety matters.
Where we are: a small group of Founding 50 neighbours and businesses is helping us test the final details. We're aiming to launch close to, or before, the 2026 Winter Market hosted by the Fort McMurray Chamber of Commerce. Payments, paid business options and Hired Help fees come with that final readiness work.

Quick answers

Is it free?

Town tools and a Bronze business listing are free.

Do I need an app store download?

No. It runs in your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen.

Who can see my flight or shift details?

Only you, plus anyone you choose to link, like family who want to know you arrived safe.

Can anyone drive for Hired Help?

No. Hired Help uses vetted YMM drivers, not an open gig marketplace.

How do I contact the team?

[email protected]. If someone is in danger, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988.
