Solemn events planned to mark one year since 25,000 fled Jasper wildfire


By Canadian Press on July 22, 2025.

JASPER, ALTA. — Today marks one year since roughly 25,000 tourists and residents of Jasper, Alta., were forced to flee on a single highway, after several runaway fires were discovered in Jasper National Park.

There’s expected to be solemn reflection in the beloved mountain town, as events are held to remember the evacuation and the flames that incinerated neighbourhoods two days later.

A third of the town’s structures were destroyed despite firefighters’ best efforts.

It’s estimated about 2,000 people were displaced by the fire.

A ceremony is scheduled with Mayor Richard Ireland and federal Emergency Management Minister Eleanor Olszewski.

Talking circles, group bike rides and other events are set throughout the week.

I started using this remote work platform about a month ago, and honestly, I was surprised how simple it is. I’m now making 1170+ per week — just from my phone. No special skills, no interviews. If you’re looking for something real and flexible, I’ve shared all the info on my site.

I get paid more than $120 to $130 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this i have earned easily $15k from this without having online working skills. 
This is what I do…….w­w­w­.­b­e­s­t­.­w­o­r­k­4­3­.­c­o­m
