Banff and Lake Louise officials are reminding Canadians their jurisdictions are still open and welcoming visitors, following a wildfire that devastated the town of Jasper and closed the surrounding park.
“We understand that the recent wildfire in Jasper has raised concerns among some travellers. I want to assure people that there is currently no threat to public safety or infrastructure,” Banff & Lake Louise Tourism CEO Leslie Bruce said in an Aug. 1 press release.
