Impact to Travelers – Alberta
July 26, 2024
Jasper National Park and the municipality of Jasper have issued evacuation orders and are under a localized State of Emergency due to wildfires. While the fires currently remain contained in this region, they impact local communities and have tragically resulted in structural losses affecting residents and businesses. These fires have also resulted in road closures and the closure of Jasper National Park.
For real-time updates, please visit Parks Canada’s Website or Jasper National Park’s Facebook page. For air quality information, please visit Alberta’s Air Quality Index, or British Columbia’s Air Quality Index for the effects of smoke on the neighboring province of British Columbia.
These fires can also have a wider impact, including smoke distribution across regions throughout Alberta and British Columbia. This smoke primarily impacts air quality and scenery and can change rapidly, depending on weather and prevailing winds. There is currently an air quality advisory issued for Banff. Our Operations team is monitoring the situation closely to ensure we have up-to-date information, and if you have a trip scheduled to Jasper our staff will be reaching out to you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Our thoughts are with all those impacted, and we are grateful for the efforts of the firefighters across the province.
Kind Regards,
The Entrée Canada team
