Been in jasper all day. It’s a ghost Town, cars and stuff still sitting here from when the fire happened. We did the Crimson hotel and restaurant pretty weird. It’s like everybody just left instantly the kitchen all the foods there everything firefighters use some of the rooms while putting out...
Here in campsite - Jasper Gates. Smells like a camp fire here. This Starlink is sweet. Very fast. My one consultant didn’t get much done today as the federal government has a lot of rules in place that are totally unreasonable, this is going to cost insurance companies big bucks with all the...
Got my authorizations for myself and my employees to access Jasper, heading out early Friday, staying at Jasper Gates Campsite, they were very accommodating. Now to enter the $hitshow.
I am prohibited from taking any outdoor photos or sharing any photos. Can take inside but not share on Social...
Yes, lots, and tough as Im dealing with provincial and federal government, Smith has said she will try to make it easy however there is 'red tape' as usual already from the federal side. Now im reaching out to Todd Loewen as he knows me from the days of the fight we had against the NDP.
We are going to Jasper on Friday to start our Wildfire damage investigations. Just filled out some applications for my company to get passes to access Jasper.
We have 171 budling's to look at now including all of jasper park lodge, Think I'm going to take this next few days and enjoy myself at BVJ and get away cause the storm is coming for us. Yikes.

From Jasper:
🔺 Highway reopening
We know that Highway 16 is a critical route for many. The fire is still actively burning/smouldering along Highway 16.
Incident staff are working to develop plans to reopen Highway 16 and Icefields Parkway 93N to the public. Unfortunately, we do not have a...
Mike, engineers have to review the bridges prior to letting anyone drive over, you know how long that takes and how slow it is. Everything will also take longer as this is a Federal Park.
There are also are other issues about letting an entire community re-enter the town. The fires are still burning southwest of town, until those are out there is always potential for it to turn around. The other things that are needed is the infrastructure. There is damage to the hospital...
I found a 12V power supply and everything works. I have a 40' pole on the back of my trailer at BJV with LED lights up the pole, Addressable LED's with Carnival lights at the top. Quite the show.
Your correct, we are told that we cant even come to town till after the Aug Long weekend if that is completed. And they are still putting out hot spots just off the highway and firefighting actives come first.
The entry to Jasper will be very slow and very restricted. And they are not cleaning up they are putting out hot spots. They or most of them realize the hazards. Asbestos, Lead and several others here, and many toxic fumes. Maybe they should let some of the hot heads in to breath the fumes...
