East gate to undergo major improvements Jasper’s east gate is undergoing major surgery.

On March 27, Parks Canada began a $4.5 million project to reconstruct the east gate of Jasper National Park on the Yellowhead Highway. The improvements will include a third kiosk entry lane, a fourth lane to act as a bypass for through traffic and overhead electronic signage.

Parks Canada said in an information bulletin that visitors and residents can expect speed reductions to 30 km/hr in work zones.

“Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. from Monday

to Friday and from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays,” the memo read.

No work will occur on Sundays or on long weekends.

Work on the east gate project is expected to continue until the end of October 2018, weather permitting.

This is the fourth year of a $212 million, five-year infrastructure renewal plan for JNP. Parks Canada implored motorists to consider roadside safety.

“Please respect traffic control personnel and obey all posted road signs and reduced speed zones.” bob covey // bob@thejasperlocal.com

editorial //

Local Vocal Jasper’s east gate is finally getting some attention.

This ain’t no April Fools joke, folks! It seems as though the feds finally figured out that Jasper’s east entrance is in dire need of improvements.

The major boon, of course, will be the added through-lane. As it’s currently configured, the east gate is a painful pinch point. For the last umpteen years, motorists with entirely different agendas—be it a semi driver trucking all the way to the coast, a Valemounter just trying to get home before dark or a national park pass holder, wondering what the heck their annual admission is actually good for—were all stuck in the same queue. Now, those folks will be able to skip the line and the kiosk attendants can deal with the people that actually need attending to. What a novel idea!

It was in 2015 that Jasper National Park got a sh*tton of infrastructure moola to improve sight lines, expand parking lots, pave parkways and generally make Jasper National Park an easier place to get to, from and around. Not everyone agrees with catering to the driving public to such a degree but it must be said: many of the improvements were long overdue.

None of the renos, arguably, are as sorely needed as those at the east gate. How many thousands of hours have Edmontonians had to sit in their vehicles on a long weekend while their Jasper dinner reservations come and go, their kids get crankier with every motionless moment and the holiday they worked so hard to eke out is whittled down before their very brake-light-reflecting eyes?

Too many.

Even if this is a case of March Madness—that phenomenon of last minute spending by government departments, desperate to disburse their budgets by year end so they get the same allocation next year—it’s for the best. For too long we’ve done our guests a disservice by making them wait in line interminably, then asking them to support our shops, restaurants and tours when they finally get here. The folks who represent Jasper’s bread and butter shouldn’t start their holiday with a bottleneck. And that’s not to mention the public servants who have to sit in those kiosks and wave apologetically to exasperated motorists who in all likelihood want to tear a strip off anyone in a green uniform.

The payoff of these improvements might not be felt acutely by Jasperites themselves, but the bigger picture is that we don’t risk testing our guests’ patience…right out of the gate. bob covey // bob@thejasperlocal.com

GRITTY GUY // GREG VAN TIGHEM SURVIVED 500 SOLO KILOMETRES ON A FAT BIKE IN ALBERTA’S FAR NORTH. THE FAT BIKING FIRE CHIEF THIS TIME HAD HIS SIGHTS SET ON RAISING AWARENESS FOR IMPROVING MENTAL HEALTH OF FIRST RESPONDERS. // SUPPLIED

Fire chief burns rubber for mental health on AB's Ice Road Greg Van Tighem has another Ice Road adventure under his tires.

Jasper’s fire chief has ridden his fat bike 500 kilometres from Fort Smith, NT to close to Fort McMurray, AB, in a bid to raise awareness and funds for first responders’ mental health.

“I survived,” he said.

For six days, Van Tighem had other survivors on his mind: the first responders, emergency workers and veterans who battle with mental health issues. His ride was for the Sheepdog Lodge, a retreat centre for firefighters, police officers, rescue workers and military officials struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

“Most guys and gals in those roles aren’t going to call EAP (Employee Assistance Program) or go to the doctor,” Van Tighem said. “The Lodge is a low key opportunity for them to address things relating to their mental health.”

There was nothing low key about fat

biking for up to 100 kilometres in a day, rattling over washboard-like frozen mud and sleeping in an abandoned, “haunted” schoolhouse when his twoseason tent wasn’t warm enough. At different times he wiped out, the gears on his bike crapped out and at least one of the spots he stayed creeped him out.

However, while he didn’t meet many people on the Fort Smith-Fort Chipewyan-Fort McMurray connector, those he did encounter were curious and generous, he said.

“The people I met were awesome.”

That included a dogsledder in Fort Chip, sweets-supplying truckers and a gaggle of first responders at the Wood Buffalo Brewing Company, where his latest end-to-end ride culminated.

As of press time, Van Tighem had raised $4,400 of the $5,000 he had set as his goal for the Sheepdog Lodge.

Local community//

Local family petitions federal government to change park's eligible residency rules While Parks Canada is questioning a longterm Jasperite’s need to live in this community, Stef Dolan’s family is questioning the rules which define eligible residency in a national park.

Dolan, who’s called Jasper home for 33 years, has been looking for a workaround ever since Jasper National Park officials said her employment and family situation do not justify renewing the lease on her trailer. Now, since Parks Canada hasn’t budged on its stance that Dolan does not meet the guidelines for eligible residency, the 52-year-old’s family has created an online federal petition.

Jasper for nearly two decades before taking a job at the Teck coal mine in Hinton. She got married and raised a daughter in Jasper, but after getting a divorce, took the mining job in 2003 as a way to care for her family and avoid raising her child in poverty.

“I stopped working in Jasper, but my roots are here,” she said.

There are two ways to establish need to reside in Jasper: employment, or establishing that a person has family locally.

For the past year, Dolan has been trying to convince local officials that her need is the latter; Dolan calls 17 people, all of whom live and work in Jasper, members of her tribe.

Local entrepreneurship//

Hard work, passion and perseverance key ingredients to new Jamaican restaurant When Dwain Gilzene came to Canada from Jamaica, he had $40 to his name.

He was 25-years-old, had never been out of his home country and was hoping that by following his sister to Jasper, he’d be able to create a better life for himself and his daughter. Because he was relocating half way across the world, he decided it was best to leave his baby behind.

“I didn’t want to uproot her before I got settled,” he recalled.

Eight years later, Gilzene is more than settled, he’s on the cusp of realizing a lifelong dream. After obtaining his Canadian permanent residency, meeting and marrying the love of his life and adding another child to his Jasper-based family, Gilzene is about to open the doors to a new restaurant in Jasper. This April, the 33-year-old is bringing the flavours, the passion and the culture of the Caribbean to the Rockies. As this publication hits newsstands, The Spice Joint is open for business.

“I see a market in Jasper for real Jamaican and Caribbean food,” Gilzene said, two days before he hung his black, green and gold sign outside the facade at 614 Connaught Drive. “I take great pride in it.”

To get to this point, Gilzene has had to grind.

For years he answered the call in local hotel kitchens, slaving and saving with the long view of eventually being his own boss. On March 27, as he brewed the first pot of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee—a premium cuppa which java bean connoisseurs covet—he reflected on how far he’d come.

“The road I was on [in Jamaica], I could have lived, but to actually go out and make a business, no. I had to change my path.”

That path has been rocky at times. When Canada was cracking down on immigration violations several years ago, Gilzene’s former employer failed to nominate him for permanent residency.

Wanting desperately to be reunited with his daughter, he was devastated.

“Other people who had not been here as long as me were getting their PR,” he said. “It was frustrating.”

In response, Gilzene paved his own way, applying for residency through the provincial government.

He recalls being a nervous wreck whenever a

colleagues. And even though it was July, fresh snow was falling from the sky. Feeling the cold, wet flakes land on his arms, Gilzene was amazed.

“Every time I saw a piece of mail from the government my heart was vibrating in my chest,” he said.

“I see a market in Jasper Finally, word came down that Gilzene had qualified for permanent residency.

for real Jamaican and Caribbean food.”

“I was blown away,” he said.

Today, winter is his favourite season, and despite being so scared the first time he took the chairlift to the top of Marmot Basin that staff had to give him a ride down in a skidoo, Gilzene loves to ski.

He even taught his wife and

“It was freedom,” he said. “It was like I was carrying a million tons on my head and I put it all down. I could breathe easy.”

daughter.

More recently, Gilzene has felt a similar weight lifted as his labours getting The Spice Joint established have finally borne fruit. With only a few items left to check off—including getting the health inspector, fire chief and Parks Canada’s realty department to approve his premises— Gilzene is buzzing with anticipation.

This spring, Gilzene is hoping Jasper will want to embrace something new. Like a jerk chickencoleslaw sandwich on coco bread, for example.

Or a Jamaican beef patty. Or oxtail with rice and beans.

“I’m so excited I can’t sleep,” he laughed.

Eight years ago, Gilzene was excited, but for different reasons. He had just landed in Jasper after a marathon flight and shuttle by way of Kingston, Jamaica, Toronto and Edmonton.

The clouds were thick, so he couldn’t see the mountains he would soon be scrambling with his

“I think it’s important to embrace something new,” he says.

For Gilzene, who believes strongly in the food and the culture of his home country, and who is living proof that dreams come true in Jasper, he hopes The Spice Joint is the beginning of something bigger.

“I want this to be a movement,” he says. “The Spice Joint is just the start.”

March Mogul Mash-up

PHOTOS BY: EDDIE WONG EXPLOREJASPER.COM

//EVAN MATTHEWS

Some of Canada’s best freestyle skiers competed in Jasper last weekend, including Olympic Gold Medalist Mikael Kingsbury.

Marmot Basin played host to the Canadian Championships mogul freestyle event, which drew a large crowd alongside the Showoff run, with the notables taking home the hardware.

The field included Marc Antoine Gagnon, who made his Olympic

debut (Sochi 2014), and Mikael Kingsbury, who won a silver medal in his Olympic debut (Sochi 2014) and more recently took home the gold (Pyeongchang 2018).

Saturday March 24 saw the single mogul qualification and final, while Sunday March 25 saw the dual mogul qualifications and final. Athletes used Thursday and Friday as training days.

Kingsbury owns the men’s mogul world and continued his domination on Saturday, winning the men’s single mogul event and

furthering his overall lead this season in the Freestyle World Ski Championship (FIS) standings.

Audrey Robichaud won the ladies’ single mogul event. Robichaud sits in 45th in terms of overall FIS standings, and is was the highest ranking female in the field.

Since Sochi, Kingsbury has become the most dominant male moguls ski in history; he has more World Cup mogul victories than anyone in history, male or female.

During the dual mogul event, Brenden Kelly won the men’s event, while Robichaud solidified

her dominance of the weekend, taking her second event in ladies’ dual.

Other notables in the field included the Alberta-born skiers Ryan Portello, Luke Ulsifer and Matt Joosten.

Mogul skiing is a freestyle skiing competition made up of a timed run. Athletes “free ski” down a steep, moguled course. Judges look for technical turns, aerial maneuvers and speed.

Internationally, athletes compete at the FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships and at the Winter Olympic Games. evan matthews //
