Prime Minister Mark Carney, currently visiting Edmonton, has announced a $187 million investment to redevelop Jasper, which was severely damaged by a devastating wildfire in July of last year.
The funding will be allocated to rebuild the infrastructure of Jasper National Park, with Parks Canada receiving the investment over two years. This will support the restoration of roads, trails, and the construction of permanent staff housing.
Construction work in Jasper Town and Jasper National Park is expected to begin in May, and the funding will ensure that efforts continue without interruption.
Currently, residents are living in temporary housing, and the announcement comes just days after Carney's election as leader of the Liberal Party and his swearing-in as Prime Minister. It is speculated that the next federal election may be held between April 28 and May 5.
