Rebuilding Jasper a ‘heavy burden’ for residents one year after the wildfire
July 22, 2025
About 200 Jasper residents, some quietly wiping away tears, gathered on Tuesday to commemorate the one-year anniversary of a wildfire that destroyed one-third of the picturesque mountain community.
Speakers at the ceremony, which included officials from all levels of government, Parks Canada and an Indigenous elder, focused on the resilience of Jasper residents. They also paid respect to Morgan Kitchen, a 24-year-old wildland firefighter who died while battling the blaze.

All day I walk around in thirty-degree heat, my toe rubbing the inside
of my leather shoe, reddening. Soon it will bleed.
If I were dying Thursday, this might be
the last smoke bush I see. Its red hair on fire.
And buying ginger ale at the corner store, I stare
at the purple $10 bill a long time, Viola Desmond’s face.
Maybe the last purple $10 bill. My last
tea at Annapurna. I don’t tell the friendly server
I won’t be back.
Somewhere, the waves of the sea...
