This made me wonder about Field and Jasper (town). Fast facts:

Field: "unincorporated community" with population of 169 - administered by Parks Canada. People lease their land on 42 yr terms.

Jasper: "Specialized Municipality" with population 4500. Governance is shared between the municipality and the federal Parks Canada agency. (wiki) - I didn't dig too deep, but they do have their own mayor and city council...not sure how different it is from Banff (7800)
