Finding Housing in Jasper
To live in Jasper, you must meet Parks Canada's eligible residency requirements.
Because we live in a National Park, it can be difficult to find housing. The 2024 Jasper Wildfire Complex has made this process even more challenging.
We understand that Jasperites are facing so much uncertainty, especially when it comes to housing. We are working hard with all levels of government to get funding to increase available options.
For more information on temporary housing updates, please see the Housing Progress page.
