Jasper National Park next door to Banff was Alberta’s piece of heaven on earth, known for its majestic natural beauty and abundant wildlife. It has been reduced to ash in a raging fire and it is devastating. I was just there. After a 50 year absence. To say I am heartbroken would be an understatement.
First responders have been told to leave. Flames consumed multiple buildings, including the Maligne Lodge and at least the grounds of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge.
CBC Edmonton sill have a report at 7:30 EST, 5:30 Mtn.
We will keep you updated.

Write to your MP, MPP, MLA, MNA, Senator, or preferred local media outlet to tell them you expect them to dig deep into the Doug Ford corruption story as well as indicted-in-the-USA-for-trying-to-steal-an-election Mike Roman's links to Stephen Harper and Andrew Scheer.
If you live in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, or British Columbia; in Lasalle–Ville Émard–Verdun or Elmwood–Transcona; or Ward 15 in Toronto, why not look into what you can do to help with the upcoming elections and by-elections by either supporting a candidate or working at a polling station?
As the Paralympic Games are fast approaching, why not support Canada's Wheelchair Basketball program by purchasing one of these snazzy t-shirts for just $35. [https://wheelchair-basketball-canada....]
