Fox Lake is a remote First Nation community in northern Alberta cut off by melting ice roads and mud-slicked trails.

In 2021 , voters showed up on election day to vote at the local school gym, the location printed on their voter cards.

There were no staff, no ballots and no notice.

Residents were told to vote in John D’Or Prairie , the nearest polling station, accessible only across rough terrain and via a river barge.
