Determined to Work Together for Jasper: Parks Canada and Partners Bolster Safe and Swift Return Home Français
New financial support will enable remediation efforts and help Jasper residents return home safely and swiftly. JASPER, AB, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - One year after the Jasper Wildfire forced residents from their homes, Parks Canada, the Municipality of Jasper, the Canadian Red Cross, and Prairies Economic Development Canada continue to work as partners in the recovery and rebuild of Jasper, with a shared focus on quickly returning residents to safe and permanent homes. Today, Parks Canada and the Canadian Red Cross jointly announced up to $5 million in additional support for Jasper residents. This will be intended for Jasperites who require contaminated soil testing and removal prior to rebuilding permanent housing. This new funding will ensure a swift, safe and dignified path forward for those most impacted. New financial assistance, administered by the Canadian Red Cross, will provide support to residents for uninsured costs related to soil remediation and testing that will ensure the long-term health of residents. The Government of Canada, through Parks Canada and other federal partners, has invested more than $180 million in rebuilding Jasper, and the work continues. Together, we have: expedited reconstruction efforts through streamlined processes to make rebuilding as efficient as possible; secured interim housing for 300 Jasper families to allow them to return to the community as soon as possible; coordinated debris removal on 100 per cent of affected lots; and welcomed a number of residents back to permanent housing. With debris removal complete and development permits issued through a streamlined process, the focus has now shifted to soil remediation and ensuring the future health of residents. Parks Canada is continuing to work closely with homeowners to provide clear and timely information, practical solutions, and flexibility throughout this phase. A coordinated plan to guide expedited soil remediation efforts and support residents will be shared very soon. We remain focussed on quickly getting building permits for residents who lost their homes and businesses so that they can move forward with their lives. Together, these efforts reflect a shared commitment to helping Jasper rebuild stronger and faster, with the well-being of residents at the heart of every decision. Quotes "The residents of Jasper have shown remarkable strength during this difficult time. Their resilience and solidarity remind us that, together, we're not just rebuilding homes, but restoring hope. We are here to support them every step of the way to rebuild the town quickly and safely so that Jasperites can move towards building a stronger future." The Honourable Steven Guilbeault Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages " Our new government continues to work with its partners to ensure residents can return to their permanent homes in a safe and timely manner. As Canada's first-ever Minister for Community Resilience, I'm proud to be part of a government that's committed to helping communities like Jasper recover and thrive." The Honourable Eleanor Olszewski Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience and Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada. "On behalf of so many of our residents, I extend sincere gratitude to Parks Canada, the Government of Canada, and the Canadian Red Cross for their continued commitment and support. Their thoughtful, coordinated approach to easing the financial and emotional burden of this difficult time has made a meaningful difference in the lives of those rebuilding. This support is helping our community move forward — together." Richard Ireland Mayor of Jasper "The Canadian Red Cross commends Parks Canada for providing financial support that addresses soil remediation which has been an ongoing barrier for rebuilding homes in Jasper. The Canadian Red Cross continues to work alongside community and government partners to support recovery in Jasper and will be there to address ongoing and evolving needs in the weeks and months to come." Conrad Sauvé President and CEO, Canadian Red Cross Quick Facts In September 2024, the Government of Canada introduces legislation (Bill C-76) to enable the transfer of land use planning and development authorities from Parks Canada to the Municipality of Jasper. This has facilitated land use planning and development in the long term. In the short term, Parks Canada and the Municipality of Jasper are working together to streamline and adjust Parks Canada's existing processes. Parks Canada supported all necessary processes for accelerating rebuild of Jasper in concrete ways, such as updated land use policies, expedited approvals for variances, reduced parking requirements, facilitated subdivision processes, simplified development application process, and reduced up front compliance deposit costs. Parks Canada made 4.25 hectares of land available for interim housing and secured over 300 interim housing units for Jasper residents. Initial occupancy started February 26, 2025. Currently, 500 individuals are occupying interim housing in Jasper. The Canadian Red Cross provides interim lodging management services for Jasper residents placed in units as part of the interim housing program. As part of their interim lodging management role, the Canadian Red Cross support tenant relations, managing leases, utility management and coordinating maintenance for sites.

Wheels coming off Alberta's auto insurance market
Insurance Brokers Raise Concern: Drivers are increasingly unable to secure coverage due to rate cap, promise of reform appearing to stall EDMONTON, AB, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - The Insurance Brokers Association of Alberta (IBAA) is raising concerns, as more and more Alberta drivers are unable to secure the coverage they need in the province. With the rate cap now in its third year, auto insurers have increasingly scaled back or terminated coverages, making it difficult for many drivers to secure the insurance they need. This leaves them dangerously underinsured and forced to pay out-of-pocket when an accident occurs. "An insurance broker is a driver's best resource to secure the best coverage at the best possible price. Unfortunately, as auto insurers reduce available coverages or withdraw from the Alberta market due to the rate cap, brokers are increasingly unable to find coverage options that are both accessible and affordable for many drivers in the province," said Jhnel Weller-Hannaway, Chief Executive Officer of IBAA. "Though the intention of the rate cap is to ease the cost burden for good drivers, the system isn't working, and the province must immediately remove this policy so the competitive market can return to health ahead of reforms." IBAA members are seeing first-hand the damage that has been caused to drivers and the auto insurance market in the province due to the rate cap. As insurers curtail the level of coverage they offer, it's become increasingly difficult for many drivers to secure or even afford the insurance they need, such as: Owner lease vehicles, who are increasingly unable to secure the collision and comprehensive coverages required in their lease contracts; Drivers whose insurer have left the province and must find a new carrier; and, Drivers with a history of claims or road-side infractions. With limitations on availability of required coverages, the IBAA is concerned that the rate cap will lead to increased premiums as insurers attempt to recover inevitable losses. Simply put, brokers are grappling to secure proper coverage for clients as insurers scale back or leave the province due to the rate cap. With Albertans currently paying the second highest premiums in Canada, we will eventually see an increase in the number of drivers without proper insurance coverage. While government is working to reform Alberta's auto insurance system and introduced a Care-First model, those efforts face significant challenges in delivering improved affordability due to the rate cap and growing cost pressure. In light of the fact that costly court access remains a feature under the new system, IBAA is concerned that Alberta will end up having the most expensive care-based model of any jurisdiction in Canada. "There is still time for the government to succeed in its goal to build a better, more affordable system," said Weller-Hannaway. "We implore the government to lift the rate cap so that competition and choice can return to the market. We strongly recommend adoption of reforms that focus on care, while improving premiums cost and accessibility for consumers whether or not they are involved in collisions."
