Chart of the Week: Wildfires reach Jasper
Wildfires have spread in Alberta, reaching Jasper this week. The most immediate concern is the safety and well being of those impacted by the evacuation. Our thoughts are with those affected.
We are closely monitoring potential economic impacts. Jasper is a major tourist destination and the wildfire hit the town at peak season, as shown in our Chart of the Week. The ultimate impact of the disruption will ultimately depend on the duration of the evacuation and extent of the damage. Recent reports indicate the impact to buildings is severe, requiring extensive rebuilding in the coming months and years.
