We’ve started a new feature on the ‘Big Breakfast’ called “History .. but Better” with local historian C.J. Phillips who will tell the odd tales of Fort McMurray’s characters and places.

The first edition features Fort McMurray’s real life Thelma & Louise, Rose Marie Turford who was featured in People Magazine, 60 Minutes and is McMurray’s most infamous individual!

She was born and raised here, and went on to a massive crime spree that saw her wind up in a Houston jail.

Have a listen to the wild story below!
