Banff National Park prepares for another wildfire season amid drought and lower snowpack levels.

Banff National Park is bracing for its first summer since the Jasper wildfire, with concerns over potential wildfires rising due to drought and lower snowpack levels. Parks Canada is creating fire breaks with the help of Indigenous logging companies to reduce fire risk and allow embers to fizzle out. Communities are also taking action, such as clearing gutters and moving log piles away from homes, to prevent fires. Anxiety is high as the region faces another dry and hot summer.
