Looking for transportation to and from Jasper?

Sun Dog Tours offers a daily shuttle service between Edmonton and Jasper which runs year round. The shuttle makes stops at the Edmonton International Airport and West Edmonton Mall en route to Jasper Park Lodge.

For departure/arrival times and prices, visit the Sun Dog Tours website.

Due to the overwhelming success of the Alberta Library Conference, all rooms at Jasper Park Lodge are full, therefore the link to the JPL online booking is unavailable.

You can add your name to the wait list by calling JPL at (780) 852-3301. With our new cancellation policy in place, some rooms will become available 45 days before the conference. Jasper Park Lodge staff will start calling people on the waiting list at that time.
