Dear Editor,

Congratulations to the Friends of Jasper on the occasion of their 30th anniversary. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a few Friends groups over the years and can confidently say that the Friends of Jasper are by far the most successful, inspiring and inspired of the lot. It likely has a lot to do with the quality of its key staff people, the volunteer spirit that runs so strong in the Jasper community, and the love of Jasper National Park shared by so many members. Here’s hoping for many more decades of success to a great bunch of people in one of the world’s great places.
