I’m looking to listen to Jasper, AB traffic, particularly Parks Canada and local Fire around the townsite. The only frequency I’ve have luck on so far is occasional Warden traffic on 167.835 Whistler Mountain. Other frequencies in the database have been quiet. Does anyone know the frequencies or talk groups for Parks?

It's all conventional VHF , no t/g's as there is no trunking.

Does anyone know if Parks Canada uses any of those HF frequencies still? If I remember correctly, they were at one point used for backcountry communications?

Not 100% true. It's my understanding that Fire uses the Parks VHF frequencies, so they're conventional VHF, but there are a couple of trunked systems in the area.

AHS would use AFRRCS of course and is encrypted. I think the municipal peace officers (if any) may be using AFRRCS as well but I'm not 100% sure as I haven't visited the town since before AFRRCS came to be.

There is a site for the ATCO Gas NXDN96 system in town, in the 161-167 MHz range.

Jasper Park Lodge has 800 MHz frequencies in the 858-860 MHz range. I noticed that license showing up in the SMS about the same time as the 800 freqs in Banff, which ultimately was the LTR system at Banff Mineral Springs Hotel.

Last time I was there the HF channels were used and often would patch into the nightly NET. The downtown Warden's Office sports all the HF antennas.
