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. Together, our objective is to streamline the development review and approval process for rebuilding to enable the rebuild of homes and businesses in the townsite in ways that align with Jasper’s values.
A newly established Department of Urban Design and Standards will play a key role in this process. This department was created in response to discussions with Parks Canada on increased municipal role in planning and development decisions, prior to the wildfire in July. The involvement of municipal planning and development professionals during this process will assist us in shaping Jasper’s future development with the engagement and contributions of all community members.
The Jasper Recovery Coordination Centre is working on a process to expedite demolition, remediation and debris removal work across entire neighbourhoods.
Below, you’ll see how we’ve broken out the rebuild into 5 phases.
