Done. I strongly support this as a Supercharger site.

Also feel free to share with your local Tesla Association FB pages etc..Awesome, I left a comment.
155 comments, I hope Tesla and Jasper work something out
Awesome I didn’t know about this, out of curiosity how does one go about requesting a supercharger location? I would really love for one to be built in Edson to make getting to Jasper that much easier.

A google search using the underline text above lead me to:
'Suggest a Charging Site' section here Charging Partners | Tesla
Just looked that the supercharger map and it is not saying W4 2021, that would be awesome it they are able to meet that time. However, I am not holding my breath that they will meet that goal as they have missed targets in the past. Also of note they are now showing a supercharger to be going in Edson which is also scheduled for Q4 2021. Looking east if Edmonton to the Saskatchewan there are more locations marked out for Q4 2021 opening. 2021/2022 might be the year that we can drive hwy 16 across the province, here is to hoping.

likely, 8 + 3 ccs/chademo

Yes, 8 superchargers + 3 CCS/CHAdeMO. That was the agreement worked out with Jasper as discussed earlier in the thread:
I was looking for updates on this location. It did come up indirectly at last weeks Council meeting, when another party submitted a request to expand their community garden. Looks like plans are moving along finally!
Here is the link to the actual pdf, though below is a quote taken from it.

But no construction has started yet? I am thinking of passing by in June or whenever William's Lake and Cachee Creek are done and turned on.
North Van and Coquitlam are done for a month+ now, but still not turned on
Well, they said that it is "proceeding this summer", so I imagine nothing will be happening for at least a couple of months.But no construction has started yet? I am thinking of passing by in June or whenever William's Lake and Cachee Creek are done and turned on.

There must be actual plans in place, if the transformer and conduits have already been approved. I have searched without success.
Hopefully this will happen soon. I am planning to visit this area from Los Angeles summer 2022, and once I have a LR Model S

Tesla's website indicates planned completion dates for all of the new Yellowhead (Hwy-16 BC-AB-SK including Jasper) as "Q4 2021". That means just in time for Christmas holiday travel, if things go well. Covid is still an issue in Western Canada, which can affect construction schedules.

I'm skeptical about Saskatchewan/Alberta dirt-moving construction in late Q4-early Q1 of any year. The Tesla numbers suggest Q2 2022 (or later) to me.

The locations involved are are far, far below the lattitude where permafrost is an issue. Poring concrete in the Wintertime is done routinely in the prairie provinces. It won't be an issue, they just adjust the concrete mix for the curing temperature.
More of a possible issue is labor (but vacination program should be near complete by Sept) or possibly the permitting process. But l

That's right, it was started before the pandemic, and opened just as the pandemic began (Dec 2019).
However, covid won't be an issue for Q4. Construction is largely continuing as normal. It's social gatherings and retail businesses like dine-in restaurants that are restricted by Provincial Governments.
Cheers!
I will be in the area next week, will try and stop by the spot and have a look. Not expecting much at this time, but you never know.
I’m supposed to go to jasper and golf in early July would be super nice if they had a supercharger there. Even as a city, they don’t have enough destination chargers, and availability and reliability becomes a concern! With the little options they have it becomes hard to plan a trip there when not spending the night.
