3:30 | Some of the most important stories relating to Jasper's rebuild are being buried. Or, at least, they were until Lisa MacGregor released "Crown Jewel in Ashes: Jasper One Year After the Fire". The veteran journalist paints a shocking picture of the hoops and hurdles displaced residents continue to encounter as they attempt to rebuild their lives. Real Talk feature interviews are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
