Hundreds of evacuees have arrived in Edmonton from Jasper since the town was evacuated, with more expected in the coming days.
Around 25,000 residents and visitors were forced to flee Jasper National Park and its historic townsite on Monday night due to two nearby wildfires.
On Thursday afternoon, 436 evacuees had registered at the emergency reception centre in Edmonton.
“This is an emotional time for everyone, and especially for those who are seeing the updates of their homes through social media: Their business is being destroyed, their homes being destroyed and their livelihood being destroyed,” said Mayor Amarjeet Sohi.
“The gravity of these fires are being felt by everyone. I want the people of Jasper to know that Edmontonians are here for you.”
