Torrential rain did not dampen Jasperites' spirits this Canada Day.

It was a different day than Jasper's traditional pancake breakfast, parade, and party in the park - these events cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This year, there were social distancing-friendly activities, with a 'Plaid Picnic in the Park' yard decorating contest and a series of Porch Concerts, with local musicians performing from outside their homes.
