We respectfully acknowledge that the lands on which we gather here today in the community of Jasper and within the boundaries of Jasper National Park are situated in Treaty 6 and Treaty 8, as well as part of the traditional lands of the Beaver, Cree, Ojibway, Secwépemc, Stoney, and Métis. We acknowledge the land as an act of reconciliation that honors the authentic history of Turtle Island and the original people of these traditional lands.
A Spooktacular Night on The Pumpkin Path: Halloween Magic for a Good Cause On Wednesday, October 30, Jasper’s Curling Rink transformed into a Halloween wonderland for The Pumpkin Path—a night of glowing pumpkins, community connection, and meaningful support for the Jasper Food Bank. Held indoors from 6-8pm, the event was well attended by local youth and families who came together for some Halloween magic and a good cause. This year’s Pumpkin Path featured a stunning display of carved pumpkins, each created by local teens using the seventy pumpkins donated by the Jasper Rotary Club. Their creativity shone through as jack-o'-lanterns illuminated the path, casting a warm and spooky glow over the evening. Beyond their pumpkin donation, the Rotary Club played a vital role in making the event a success by also donating $2,000 to the Jasper Food Bank and providing technical support to collect debit and credit card donations. A big thanks goes to Cheryl and Danielle for operating the Square for credit card donations, making it easy for attendees to contribute. Visitors generously donated a total of $848 ($726 in cash and $122 through the card reader) along with three big tubs of much-needed food items, including bags of rice, oils, pancake mix, granola bars, school snacks, and feminine hygiene products. The event was a fantastic way to celebrate Halloween with friends and family while making a positive impact in the community. The Pumpkin Path brought together the creativity and compassion of Jasper, and with the Rotary Club’s generous support, the fundraiser was a resounding success for a worthy cause. |
In addition, two further honors for the Club’s contributions to the Rotary Foundation: the “Every Rotarian Every Year” Award and the “100% Foundation Giving” Award, celebrating full participation and generous donations from all members.
The Rotary Club of Jasper is proud of its dedicated team and continues to exemplify community service at home and around the world!
In the wake of the recent wildfire that has profoundly affected the Jasper community, the Rotary Club of Jasper is emphasizing the importance of mental health in the workplace by hosting a Psychological First Aid Course. This Red Cross two-day, in-person certificate course is designed to equip Jasper’s business and government community with tools to recognize and support mental well-being among employees. The training, set for November 26 and 27 at The Jasper Inn and Suite, will provide managers, supervisors, and employees with essential skills to manage psychological health in challenging times. “Like physical first aid, psychological support is a critical skill,” the Rotary Club highlighted. “Especially after this year’s wildfire, creating supportive workplaces is more vital than ever.” Thanks to support from Rotary International, Servus, and ATB, registration is available at a discounted rate of $112. With space limited to 30 participants, those interested can register at bigheartsfirstaid.com. |
