Chart of the Week: Jasper is rebuilding
As a frequent visitor to Jasper, I look forward to seeing the progress in the reconstruction efforts following the devastating wildfires in summer 2024.
Parks Canada provided an update as of July 27, 2026:
- Of the 374 destroyed structures, 48 now have occupancy, 92 are under construction, 45 have building permits approved, 67 are in the permit application process, and the remaining 122 are in the preparation phase.
- 232 development permits have been issued for rebuilding and 151 for recovery.
Our chart of the week shows the dramatic spike in the value of permits in 2025 - mostly residential related.
Keep it up Jasper!
