Mike Mitchell and Mike Day have both lived in town since the ’80s and
have hiked many a kilometre in Jasper National Park. The pair also
worked together at the Parks Canada trails office in the late ’90s,
signing out a lot of locals and visitors to various hiking and
backcountry trips.
It was during their time at the trails office that Mitchell and Day came
up with the idea to create a new map of the park.
“That’s where we both realized the love of maps and interest in that
field,” said Day.
Flash forward about eight years and that project is on the verge of
being finished, and who better than two men so familiar with the park to
take on the task?
The locals, who together formed a company called True North
Cartographics in 2004, have created the new map, in accordance with the
JNP centennial, which takes place next year.
The map will be the first full one of the park created since 1985, when
the federal government made its own one of JNP (the same year that Parks
Canada celebrated its 100-year anniversary).
