May 16, 2013

Long weekends, although meant to be fun and carefree, are often marred by tragedy.

With everyone excitedly hitting the road to the nearest campgrounds, trailheads, fishing spots and rafting destinations, highways are flooded with people, increasing the likelihood of unfortunate accidents and loss of life.

Support the chief, donate Print

Jasper’s fire chief is on a bike ride of a lifetime. He’s pedalling from one end of Highway 93 to the next—all the way from Wickenburg, Ariz. back to Mile Zero, right here in Jasper.

He’s not doing it for the adventure, nor is he doing it for his health—that much is clear from his updates about cheeseburgers and IPA along the way. Rather, Greg Van Tighem is travelling 2,700 kilometres on a solo bike trip to raise awareness and funds for the MS Society of Canada.

Everyone deserves a sanctuary to retreat to after a long day, but for many in Jasper that’s not a reality.

April 18, 2013

Jasper is a can-do community. When something needs doing, someone will surely step up and do it. Whether it’s coaching a hockey team, reffing a game, baking a cake, building a trail, chaperoning a field trip, sitting on a board or raising funds for an ailing roof, the people of Jasper are there.

Work to live Print
DANIEL BETTS, CONTRIBUTOR   
April 04, 2013

The term “work to live, not live to work,” is a common mantra associated with work/life balance; that magical equation that allows us all to have both a satisfying and meaningful career while still enjoying both the little and big things in life. We all want to enjoy sunsets, watch our children grow and participate in the special moments that give our lives meaning, and we want to do these things free of stress or depression.
