Jasper Fire Equine Evac
During the 2024 Jasper wildfire, Hinton's River Valley Agricultural Society, with help from Hinton Search and Rescue, assisted in the evacuation of approximately 80 horses from Jasper National Park, including those at the Jasper Park Lodge and Pyramid Lake Stables.
Half of the rescue volunteers went to Jasper Park Lodge while the other half went to Pyramid Lake. Cruden said the entire operation went relatively smoothly, and they got the horses caught, haltered, in the trailers and back on the road before conditions worsened. “At the time, the fire was kind of smouldering."

Round Pen Construction
Numerous hours of volunteer work were dedicated to constructing and assembling this round pen before the onset of winter frost. The efforts included leveling the ground, installing posts, hanging rails, erecting the skirting, and laying down and leveling the new gravel.
Thank you to Caylor Contracting, Hall-E Wood Construction, McStrong Safety Services, Papa G Trucking Ltd, Northland Maintenance, West Central Contracting Ltd, Vista Mine, West Ridge Sand & Gravel, David Tocher and Laccyn Contracting for their generosity!
We also want to note that this project would not have been possible without the 2024 Town of Hinton Community Grant Program!
