That‘s not good. I am in Canmore and heading up to Jasper soon.
Getting off the plane in Calgary you could already smell the smoke from the wildfires.
I don’t think you’ll be allowed in there unless you’re a firefighter now. Heard they are bringing in people to help fight the fires from as far away as Australia! You’re not thinking of Banff perhaps?

You‘re right. Apparently the place I booked in Jasper has closed.

I note that a Parakeet doesn’t weigh enough to spring the Squirrel proof slide on the feeder.

Hopefully only closed and not burned to the ground.
Yes, a lot of people have lost their homes.
Heard on the news 5000 people have lost their homes and 35% of the structures have been burned.

According to this Internet site the population of Jasper in 2022 was 4113; however many people not resident there will have homes which they rent out to tourists. Either way it is tragic…

I should have said displaced I suppose. Summer population can be close to 3 times the number of permanent residents so ya. Sorry I made you check the internet to see if theres was a possibility to prove me wrong but I realize that’s how the internet works haha.

I did check the Internet - not because I wanted to prove you wrong but because I wanted to be well informed. I am grateful for your earlier reply alerting me to the risk of going to Jasper. And just to keep on topic…
