Council Meetings
All Council meetings are conducted virtually
Out of an abundance of caution, as of October 20, Council will no longer meet in person at the Jasper Library and Cultural Centre. All meetings will be completely conducted through Zoom until further notice. This does not change public viewing of meetings.
The public can continue to watch live meetings through Zoom or watch them later on our YouTube channel. Instructions on how to tune in to live meetings are on the first page of every agenda package.

Overview
The Municipality of Jasper is unique because of its location within a national park. Governance is shared between the Municipality of Jasper and the Parks Canada Agency. The Specialized Municipality of Jasper was formed by the Province of Alberta on July 20, 2001.
The Municipality of Jasper operates under an agreement with the Department of Canadian Heritage, giving it authorities over all municipal matters with the exception of land use planning, development, and environmental matters. The Municipality of Jasper assumed responsibility for specific jurisdictional matters from the Parks Canada Agency on April 1, 2002.
Jasper is represented by an elected Mayor and 6-member Council. The current Council and Mayor were elected to office in October 2017 for a four-year term.
