Due to wildfires in the area, residents of Jasper and visitors to the national park have been evacuated to British Columbia.
We offer thanks to courageous first responders, fire fighters and community leaders; and to family and friends and the communities in B.C. who are working to host those evacuated with little notice.
Along with the affected communities, we wait with anxiety for updates.
Please include affected communities and people in your prayers, both personally and in your community of faith. This has been requested especially by members of Jasper United.
Many communities in our Region are familiar with the threats of wildfires and evacuation, and we all hold empathy and compassion in our hearts for those currently under stress and away from their homes. ❤️
