Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced the Minister of Sport, Terry Guguid, who is also the Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada, will also serve as Ministerial Lead for Jasper.
A news release from the Prime Minister’s Office says in this role, Duguid will continue the federal government’s work to support residents and business owners in Jasper following last summer’s unprecedented wildfires that devastated the town.
He will co-ordinate the federal government’s support with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners to accelerate the recovery process.
The position of Ministerial Lead for Jasper was established last October.
