Jasper – Canada’s Happy Place
Tuesday, July 1, 2025
This Canada Day, we celebrate Jasper—the trails we know by heart, the mountains that have shaped our stories, and the quiet moments that become lifelong memories.
From sunny swims in Lake Annette to powder days at Marmot Basin, from wildlife sightings that take our breath away, to leisurely bike rides through town, Jasper is more than a destination – it’s our happy place!
It’s where neighbours become friends, where nature heals, and where everyone can be inspired by the beauty and spirit of our community.
This year, we celebrate nostalgic memories we hold close and the community that keeps them alive. Through fire, challenge, and change, Jasper’s heart endures. As we come together in celebration, we’re reminded that the spirit of this place lives in all of us—in every smile, every shared story, and every step taken on familiar ground.
Happy Canada Day and welcome to Canada’s Happy Place!

- Avoid spots such as corners to allow for larger floats to turn safely.
