Here's where Jasper wildfire evacuees are being asked to go
Jasper National Park residents and visitors were ordered to leave late Monday night due to wildfires in the area.
Evacuees were initially told to take Highway 16 toward British Columbia. Alberta then directed evacuees to return because B.C. "had no capacity to house Albertans."
Reception centres are being set up in Calgary, Grande Prairie and Edmonton instead.
