Parks Canada is welcoming visitors back to Jasper National Park

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Sep 15, 2022 5:41 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Parks Canada is welcoming visitors back to Jasper National Park after power was restored to the townsite that was knocked out by a wildfire north of the community earlier this month.

The agency says it has been a difficult period for many and it appreciates the adaptability and flexibility of community residents, visitors to Jasper and the tourism industry.

ATCO Electricity says it worked relentlessly to restore power to the area as quickly as possible.

Parks Canada says the Chetamon Mountain fire, which is about 20 kilometres north of the townsite, remains active and is now about 60 square kilometres in size.

It says no communities in the area are threatened by the fire.
