Jasper National Park Reopens Maligne Road After Devastating Wildfire

Parks Canada announces the reopening of key areas to support local tourism and economy as winter approaches.

Maligne Road, one of the hardest-hit areas by the wildfire, is set to reopen, marking a significant step in Jasper's recovery.
Backcountry camping sites will be available for booking, with reservations opening on October 10 for spots accessible from October 11.
Jasper's economy, heavily reliant on tourism, is set to benefit from the reopening of popular attractions and winter activities.
Winter offerings in Jasper will include skiing, snowshoeing, skating, and more, as the park prepares for the upcoming season.
Efforts to restore and ensure safety in reopened areas have involved removing hazards and repairing infrastructure.
