Great news for Jasper, the more locally those decisions are made the better!
Maybe the feds can shift their focus on accelerating highway improvements in the park so Jasper can get the same treatment that Banff got.

Prime Minister announces new Ministerial Lead for Jasper
Amid the fires, we worked closely with the Municipality of Jasper and the Government of Alberta to provide urgent support to Albertans and impacted Indigenous communities. As we look ahead, we remain committed to ensuring the long-term recovery of Jasper – one of Canada’s national treasures.

Jasper is alive. Was there on the weekend. Some of my favorite locations are gone but there are plenty more open and more opening every week. Big problem is staffing. Jasper Brewing is closed but their new sister restaurant is open. COCOs is gone though. When you drive in you don't see much damage and in-fact the forest is scorched but intact. Its when you drive to the west side of town and then go south on 93 that it really hits you.
Connaught Dr is pretty much intact other than Vicious cycles building is gone. A few others are closed for remediation.
Patricia st is more damaged. 1/2 of the north side of the street is closed (damaged or destroyed).
West Connaught dr , other than the 2 gas stations and the 2 hotels the rest of the dr is in tact.
Work on both ends of town is underway for the 2 stacked modular residential for about 300. Lots of clearing has happened already.
We hiked up Pyramid mountain Sat and that was beautiful. Also drinks in front of the fireplace at JPL were a highlight.
So if you have a chance to get away, head up. they could use our support.
