Jasper townsite representatives expect to meet Heritage Minister Sheila Copps shortly after residents overwhelmingly voted in favour of municipal autonomy. A non-binding plebiscite asked: "Are you in favour of the establishment of an affordable, locally accountable municipal government for Jasper?" Some 1,145 electors or 73.6 per cent voted "yes" Monday while 410 voted "no."
