JASPER, ALTA. — King Charles says he and his wife, Queen Camilla, are"immensely saddened" to see the damage from massive wildfires in Jasper National Park.
The King expressed sympathy for those whose lives and livelihoods have been affected, particularly those who have lost property and were forced out. Federal officials have said about one-third of the buildings in the Jasper townsite were lost in the blaze, and that there was little firefighters could do to combat an inferno so big and powerful.
"These are dark times, but we greatly admire the strength and resilience of so many people to persevere and rebuild," King Charles said in a written statement distributed through Rideau Hall.
