Important Notice:
Jasper National Park’s Realty and Municipal Service Office is available to assist you. If you are in need of documents that have been lost in the devastation, such as copies of leases, Real Property Reports and plans, please reach out to jasperrealtymunicipalservices@pc.gc.ca. Parks Canada and the Municipality of Jasper are working together on plans to support residents and businesses on recovery and rebuilding from the impacts of the Jasper Wildfire Complex. Parks Canada is working in several ways to support Jasperites to help relieve some of the stress related to the loss of homes and commercial businesses by facilitating the rebuilding process. Parks Canada is looking at options for reducing administrative requirements for homeowners and commercial businesses looking to rebuild, including consolidating permit applications and types, waiving the period for notification of intent to rebuild and other options. We know this is a challenging time, and we want to make sure you feel heard and supported throughout this process. Please send questions about the rebuilding and recovery process to jasperrealtymunicipalservices@pc.gc.ca. Answers to general, frequently asked questions will be updated regularly on this website. Answers to questions regarding individual situations will be responded to directly as soon as we are able. More information will be available on this website soon.Recovery and rebuilding in Jasper
