In 2007, Jasper National Park will honour its past and look toward its future as it celebrates 100 years of cultural and natural history as a protected place. To commemorate such a milestone, Jasper National Park is planning 100 days of celebration. Centennial celebrations will include exhibits, events, publications, a centennial documentry, learning opportunities, and the creation of various legacies.
Although Jasper National Park has seen many changes in the last century, much of the Park remains wilderness. The largest of Canada's Rocky Mountain Parks, Jasper spans over 10,800 km/sq of broad valleys, magnificent rugged mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, forests, Alpine meadows, and wild rivers among the eastern slopes of the Rockies. |
