Parks Canada official however says it will be a ‘choose your own adventure,’ with few services and the onus on residents to determine if their properties are safe
Friday, but services such as water and gas will be limited or unavailable in some areas, according to Parks Canada officials.
But Ms. Nadon said it will be something of a “choose your own adventure,” with the onus on residents to determine whether it is safe, or simply comfortable, to live in their homes. About 5,000 people live in Jasper year-round. While much of the town’s critical infrastructure has been restored, Ms. Nadon said water and waste water have only been brought back to about 30-per-cent capacity. Additionally, only basic emergency care will be available by Friday. The west side of town, where most of the fire damage is concentrated, remains bare bones in terms of available services, she added.“If you’re on the west side, it’s more about a reconnaissance mission, almost, if you will, to go see what’s there,” she said.
