This page provides information about the progress of Jasper’s recovery after the 2024 Jasper Wildfire. Detailed information on overall numbers for both fire impacted and non-fire impacted projects for all of Jasper National Park (within the Municipality of Jasper and outside the townsite) is available on Parks Canada’s Development Office Statistics website.
Site Preparation Status
Rebuild Status of Destroyed Properties
A rapid assessment identified approximately 358 destroyed structures in the early days following the 2024 Jasper wildfire. The following presents the status of properties destroyed in the 2024 Jasper wildfire as they move through the phases of rebuilding. Each property appears on the graphic only once. We recognise that timelines for rebuilding will vary for individuals based on a variety of factors.
The Jasper Recovery Coordination Centre, a partnership between Parks Canada and the Municipality of Jasper continues to work on identifying and making available supports for each stage of recovery.
More information on each rebuild phase is provided below. More supports will be added as they are identified and available.
🟣 Phases 1 & 2: Prepare & Design (properties with no permit applications)
Properties that have yet to apply for a rebuild permit. Leaseholders may be:
- Working through insurance claims and settlement processes.
- Navigating personal decisions and considering options.
- Thinking through building design plans.
- Selling their property.
🔴 Phase 3A: Application Process (properties in the rebuild application process)
Properties in the rebuilding application process with Parks Canada. This includes approval from Parks of:
- Development permits.
- Building permits.
🟠 Phase 3B: Building Permit Approved (properties ready for construction)
Properties with building permits from Parks Canada. Contractors are preparing for construction behind the scenes and mobilizing equipment and materials on the ground.
🟡 Phase 4: Build (properties where construction is underway)
Properties currently building. Construction starts are counted once concrete pours, or equivalent for buildings where there is no concrete foundation.
🟢 Phase 5: Occupancy (properties with finished buildings)
Properties with buildings that have received Occupancy Permits from Parks Canada and are ready for Jasperites to call home and run their businesses.
