Jasper National Park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies. Under the National Parks of Canada Aircraft Access Regulations, all national parks are designated as "no-drone zones" for recreational purposes. Parks Canada enforces this framework stringently to safeguard its ecological integrity. The park serves as a critical sanctuary for vulnerable wildlife species, including grizzly bears, woodland caribou, and bighorn sheep. Studies have shown that drone flights can trigger a physiological stress response in these animals, causing them to expend vital energy fleeing from perceived avian predators. Launching, landing, or operating a drone within Jasper's borders without a specialized commercial or research permit is an offense that carries strict law enforcement consequences, including a maximum court-issued fine of up to $25,000 CAD.
