RED DEER, Alberta — A total of 350 Filipinos were evacuated from Canada ’s alpine resort town of Jasper following the start of a wildfire in late July that threatened to burn down one of Canada ’s national parks. Half of the number were temporary foreign workers working in the hospitality sector from the Jasper township and surrounding areas in the Jasper National Park, according to Calgary Consul General Emma Sarne, in an email interview with GMA News Online.
Manugo made it to a friend’s farm in B.C. at two in the morning, without her husband who was stuck after a major highway into Jasper town was closed. They got reunited after two days and are now staying with friends in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Luckily for the family, their house in Jasper town located in between a gas station that exploded and a hotel that burned down, has been spared by the blaze.
