Jasper's council is examining the potential for year-round paid parking to enhance revenue, with a target of $1.8 million by 2026. Current paid parking is free for residents and generates funds for municipal services.

Discussions include the possibility of lower winter rates for tourists. Concurrently, the municipality is facing $718,000 in emergency repairs for its wastewater treatment plant, specifically the primary clarifier, which has been out of service since last November. The repairs are expected to last six months, with a contract recommendation for the clarifier's repair anticipated next week.
