Parks Canada will always have a role to play as the regulator in managing development for the entire park. Parks Canada is inviting input on sharing responsibility with the Municipality of Jasper for the delivery of land use planning and development services, and whether a new model should be explored. [Jasper National Park](https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/jasper), has requested that the services it delivers within the town boundaries be expanded to include responsibility for land use planning and development. The Municipality of Jasper was set up in 2001 through an Establishment Agreement to deliver community services such as infrastructure, utilities, social services, taxes and bylaw enforcement. It is also one of seven parks that make up a UNSECO World Heritage Site, protecting Canada’s rocky mountain landscape. This includes continued oversight of land use planning within the park community in any future service delivery model.
