About Jasper in Canada (in reply to: I need some information on Jasper, Alberta.. ...)
First to mention that Jasper National Park is the fifth largest national park in Canada.
Jasper National Park, national park in western Alberta, Canada, established in 1907. Located in the Rocky Mountains just east of the Continental Divide, the park is famous for the beauty of its alpine scenery. Ice-capped peaks, mountain lakes, mineral hot springs, a noted ski area, and glaciers, including part of the great Columbia Icefield, are main attractions. Wildlife is plentiful and includes brown bears, elk, moose, mule deer, and mountain goats. Area, 10,900 sq km (4,210 sq mi).
Good luck with your Jasper project.

Jasper, but consider Banff (in reply to: I need some information on Jasper, Alberta.. ...)
Jasper is 362 kilometres (225 mi) west of Edmonton. Jasper is 290 kilometres (180 mi) north of Banff, Alberta, with the Icefields Parkway connecting the Jasper townsite to Lake Louise in Banff National Park. It was established as a specialized municipality on July 20, 2001 and the governance of Jasper is shared between the Municipality of Jasper and the federal Parks Canada agency.
Jasper is located in the Athabasca River valley, at the confluence with Miette River. It lies between the Victoria Cross Ranges (northwest), Pyramid Mountain (north), Maligne Range (southeast) and Indian Ridge (southwest). Jasper is connected to the west via the Yellowhead Highway and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince George and to the east to Edmonton. Toward the south, the Icefield Parkway leads to Banff and Banff National Park.
Located near Jasper are Pyramid Lake and Patricia Lake, as well as Lake Annette, Lake Edith, Lac Beauvert, and numerous other small lakes. The Jasper Tramway, which takes visitors to The Whistlers´ summit, and the Marmot Basin ski resort are also located near the town, as is the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum and Archives is located in the Jasper town site, as is the Jasper Visitor Centre.
Another good project would be on Banff, Alberta. Good luck.
