MicroSociety

Welcome to Wolf Land!

Wolf Land Market

Imagine a school where a grade 5 student is the owner of a real business! Or a grade 6 student is the Prime Minister! Where a Kindergarten student has a real bank account and a real job that pays real Wolf Land money! Where a grade 4 student is a member of the school's police force! Wolf Land is that "micro-society" where every student has an opportunity to participate in real-world activities and experiences. Sound exciting...? 

MicroSociety® is an educational model that creates a thriving, modern-day, mini-metropolis, with students taking on real-world roles and responsibilities of government officials, business owners and managers, law enforcement, non-profit work, and participating in all aspects of a consumer marketplace. A built-in "Micro-university" engages business, government, and other community leaders to share their knowledge and experience with students and staff. This society is created and managed by students and facilitated by teachers and community mentors.

Timberlea Public is the only school in Fort McMurray offering this unique educational experience!

Division Notice

ATA Strike Commencing on Monday; School Closures Starting Oct 6th

As a result of the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) rejecting a proposed deal from the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA), all FMPSD schools will be closed to students starting Monday, October 6, 2025, unless a new agreement is reached or strike action is otherwise averted. Additionally, all yellow school bus routes will be suspended for the duration of the strike.

In light of the ongoing strike, all extracurricular activities, including sports, clubs, and after-school programs, will be temporarily suspended.

As there is no definitive end date for the strike, FMPSD is unable to provide a timeline for when normal operations will resume. We will continue to provide timely updates as we receive them from the Ministry of Education and Child Care.
