Flowers in the Ashes is a limited podcast series exploring how the 2024 Jasper Wildfire impacts the mental health of older survivors and what roles leisure plays in their recovery journeys. When people hear about natural disasters, including wildfires, they tend to think about physical damage, environmental damage, and financial costs. What is less understood is that natural disasters also have profound influences on the social and community life of survivors.
