Culture and history

Jasper park information centre national historic site.

Across from the heritage railway station in the heart of Jasper Townsite, you’ll find a Rustic- style stone and timber building designed by architect A.M. Calderon. It’s your welcome to Jasper’s vast Rocky Mountain wilderness, just as it was a century ago.

This iconic building is the Jasper Information Centre, built in 1914. Inside the rustic building you’ll meet friendly park staff who’ll provide expert information, maps and advice to help you get out and explore the park.

The historic building once housed park administration offices and was the residence for the park superintendent. Today you can get information on camping sites, hiking trails, wildlife viewing, scenic drives, accommodation, dining, attractions, weather conditions, pick up a park pass and permits and even buy gifts and souvenirs.

Parks Canada and Tourism Jasper staff, as well as the Friends of Jasper Gift Shop are all here, making it the perfect place to begin your adventure.

Laptop loan for foreign travel.

ITS has expanded its laptop program to improve data security for foreign travel.

When faculty, staff, or students travel abroad for institutional or academic reasons, they often bring a laptop with them.  The university and personal data on this laptop can be at risk, especially if visiting a country that Export Control has identified as a concern.  To minimize risk, ITS will loan a cleanly imaged device before the trip.  It will be fully enrolled in our workstation management program, have up-to-date security (e.g., encryption, patching, and Microsoft Defender), and can be managed and wiped remotely if needed.  The traveler will load necessary and permitted data onto the device and use it for their trip.  Afterwards, they will export any user data and return the device, which will be fully reset.

An ITS loaner device reduces both the amount of information, either intended or accidental, that is carried outside of the US and the exposure of the UConn computing environment to malware that might come back.  More information about the process is available at: kb.uconn.edu/space/IKB/26055606857
