The shocking footage of the Jasper town site… struck a deep chord with me. Like many others, I have cherished childhood memories of the park. …Just as fires rage across much of western Canada, so too do political debates about the causes of the fires. Is it climate change? Is it the mountain pine beetle epidemic? Is it a lack of prescribed burns and a banning of Indigenous burning practices? Is it bureaucratic and government inaction?

On Thursday night, I did a rare thing for me these days: I watched a television newscast, drawn in by the on-the-ground coverage of the devastating toll of wildfires on Jasper National Park in Alberta. The shocking footage of the Jasper town site — where Alberta Premier Danielle Smith suggested 30 to 50 per cent of buildings have potentially been damaged by a massive wall of fire that swept into town Wednesday night — struck a deep chord with me.

When world-renowned naturalist Jane Goodall visited Victoria, Canada, in 2022, she had an air of serenity. The octogenarian began to walk onstage in front of a sold-out crowd, leaning on an assistant’s shoulder and using a cane. But then she abruptly hopped across the stage, lithe as can be—no cane necessary. “That was poor 88-year-old Jane Goodall,” she quipped from the mic. The world’s best-known naturalist, now 89, isn’t slowing down for anyone or anything.

I bury my face in the little bear’s fur and breathe in deeply. It smells fresh, like a dog or cat that just came in from the forest. It’s not what I expected. “Babies are babies,” Kim Gruijs, head caretaker at Northern Lights Wildlife Society shelter in Smithers, B.C., says with a smile and a shrug. This baby is an orphaned black bear, less than a year old. I run my fingers through her fur and feel her warmth under my hand. Her breathing is soft and she seems fragile.
