In the summer of 2024, Jasper National Park and the town of Jasper were hit with a devastating wildfire that burned approximately 32,700 hectares and destroyed 30 percent of structures in the town. A significant portion of the park’s infrastructure was also damaged or destroyed. Since then, in partnership with the Government of Alberta, the Municipality of Jasper and local stakeholders, the federal government has supported residents, helped restore services, and rebuilt infrastructure.
