RE: Diesel availability -Kamloops, Jasper, Lake Louise?
Only diesel I could find.in Jasper was at east end petro. 106.9/L
I edited my original post a few above because an earlier reply talked about the Petro-Canada on the west end. I've been to Jasper 5 times in the last 4 years and could only recall the east end Petro-Canada having diesel but wasn't 100% sure. Glad I wasn't entirely off my rocker.
To the OP - be rest assured there is diesel in Jasper, the Petro-Canada at the east end has it, and as someone else correctly said, the pump has both a fast fill and a normal fill spout. The fast fill is awesome.

RE: Slideout locks required in Cananda?
Some years back I seem to remember some sort of requirement for locks for a motorhome's slideouts in order to be allowed into Canada. Is that still in effect?
No such thing, someone is pullin' your leg :) I've never even had one of two different rigs and I live here!
Urban legends and rumours.

RE: Jasper NP Campsites
Jasper NP is closing 350 campsites this weekend due to flooding in the area. I imagine many more in the surrounding area, will also be affected, due to the heavy rains and heavy snow melt happening.
BTC
Specifically it is the Snaring River campground and its overflow site (which is only open for long weekends) as the Snaring River road has flooding on it.

RE: Jasper/Banff National Parks
Your chances of finding an empty spot on Saturday this weekend are worse than slim to none anywhere in Banff or Jasper Nat'l parks. Your only hope would be to wait at a campground and hope for someone who is traveling through and departing; however, you likely will be in a lineup with many others trying the same thing. The overflow areas are basically gravel pits with no facilities, just a place to pull in and park.
If you have any option at all, you should wait a couple days before heading into this beautiful area.
x2. Without a reservation you're chances at one of the campgrounds around Jasper are slim at best.
There are other non-reservable campgrounds along the Icefields Parkway heading north from Lake Louise, you could check them out on your way and hope for the best. Another option is to head west from Jasper into British Columbia and try around Mount Robson.

RE: Canadian National Parks and dogs
Here's a link to the National Parks of Canada Domestic Animal Act. It clearly states dogs are allowed.

RE: Canadian National Parks and dogs
Parcs National de la Jacques Cartier near Qubec City and Parc National de la Gaspesie on the Gaspe Peninsula to name two.
Those aren't National Parks run by Parks Canada. There are only three "National" parks in Quebec:
Forillon National Park of Canada
La Mauricie National Park of Canada
Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada
It looks like Quebec has decided to call some parks "National" when they aren't.
Here's a link to the official, Federal Government run, Parks Canada and all of the true National Parks in Canada.

As long as you are at one of these your dog should be good to go (on a leash). I visit the Rocky Mountain national parks all the time (Banff, Jasper, Yoho in particular) and see lots of dogs around.

RE: Canadian National Parks and dogs
Now that I am in Quebec, I have learned that the National Parks here don't allow dogs. Really disappointing and since Canada's wonderful NPs are a really strong reason for us to be in the province, we'll be moving out in less time than planned. Two questions, s'il vous plait:
1) If it is a National Park, how does a province get to alter the rules?
2) As we work our way back all across Canada to BC and visit every province, are we likely to encounter other National Parks with "Provincial" limitations and rule changes re dogs?
This will really help us in our planning. Thanks.
According to the National Park regulations dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash at all times. Dogs can be removed if a park warden deems the animal to be a nuisance, if it is found at large (not on a leash), if it bites someone, etc.
I just did a quick Google and found the following, which is very surprising to me:

and specifically the link on the above page which takes you to this:

I don't know how Quebec does things, is it possible they have "National" parks under provincial control and outside the control of Parks Canada?

RE: Alberta provincial parks
Here's a link to an excellent website that provides info on campgrounds throughout Alberta. (Note: the site has a glitch that tells you a script has a problem....just click on Stop Script and all goes well.)
Alberta Campgrounds
Also, unless you have some really nagging desire to experience Edmonton, you'd be better traveling over to Banff then up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper, then to Prince George and north on #97 to finally meet up with #43 at Dawson Creek. By going up #2 to Edmonton, you're bypassing some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever find, plus #2 between Calgary and Edmonton is crazy busy.
JMHO.
Totally agree, skip Edmonton and go up the Icefields Parkway.
