To aid in wildfire recovery efforts, the Jasper Recovery Coordination Centre (JRCC) has been established as a vital partnership between the Municipality of Jasper and Parks Canada. This collaborative partnership is dedicated to guiding our community through the recovery process in the wake of the recent wildfire, focusing on delivering the resources and support that residents and businesses need to rebuild.
To better understand the stages of our recovery, we invite you to explore the recovery process diagram below. We are currently in the re-entry and recovery phase. We update the recovery section of the website regularly to show what's happening with what's open, debris removal, housing and more!
How do I apply for housing?
To be considered for interim housing that may be available, you must complete the official housing application. For interim housing in Jasper, priority will be given to essential workers.
Essential workers are individuals who provide services necessary for the functioning and safety of our community, including roles in public safety, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and government services.
If you do not fall into the category of an essential worker, you can still fill out the application. However, we strongly encourage you to look at other options as well – whether with a friend or in an area outside of Jasper.
Everyone, regardless of whether they are essential workers or not, is encouraged to explore housing solutions that will work for them either inside or outside of Jasper, until rebuild is complete.
