" C6 j2 u |, I1 ?9 \0 pAs I know, if you work here for more than 6 months, and you have rent agreement with your landlord, you will get some money back when doing your tax.

As to the flight credits, I sure haven't heard about that from any of the folks here I know, it may exist, but the only travel credits I remember from Revenue Canada are those for travelling due to medical or employment purposes. I might be wrong....and believe you me, next tax return I'm gonna find out for sure!( _5 G: }% z. }) h8 e6 B4 l/ P

The oilsand plants run 24 hours, so half the city is sleeping at any one time, and half are working. City businesses (outside the oilsand industry) have a huge struggle finding and keeping employees, everyone wants to get an oilsand job..the result is that you get shoddy service in all retail stores and restaurants.

Besides its negatives...Ft. Mac. is what you make of it...like any other place to live .
