Officials say they are seeing structural damage to 30-50 per cent of Jasper, Alta., after a wildfire roared through the community late Wednesday. Our first guest is Phil Burton, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at the University of Northern British Columbia, to explain what is happening with the wildfire in Jasper. Next, we hear from Shirley Bond, MLA for the Prince George-Valemount area, on her fond memories of Jasper National Park. Then, we're joined by Mike Nash. He's an avid hiker who was planning to do a backpacking trip in the Park and cancelled due to the heat. He's the author of “Outdoor Safety and Survival in British Columbia's Backcountry” We take calls from our audience with reactions to seeing the destruction in the national park and its townsite, and memories of the Park and its natural beauty.
