finding a job and lodging in fort mcmurray alberta as a plumbers apprentice  

If I were in your situation I would do a google or yahoo search on the town of Fort McMurray and find links to apartment and room rentals. I understand accomodation is hard to find in the north. You could also check to find the name of their newspaper and check the ads. You could also do a search for plumbing companies. There is a real estate site for Fort McMurray, also a site Jobs in Fort McMurray and a site for the Chamber of Commerce in Fort McMurray. So there is a good start for you. Good luck and take warm clothes.
