Alberta’s Minister of Seniors Jason Nixon is frustrated with the lack of help received in Jasper

Alberta’s Minister, Jason Nixon, stated the province was preparing to deliver 250 single-family homes early this year, as long as the Municipality of Jasper provided the land. Now, Nixon has called out both the Municipality and Parks Canada for going back on their promise, claiming that building houses in Jasper is outside of the province’s jurisdiction.
