Both - layering is best at that time of year. Especially this year - you never know what the weather will be like so - sweater with a light jacket along with a pair of shorts and long pants. You can't go wrong.

Last year at the end of June it was 33C (91F) in Jasper on June 30th - so definitely shorts and sandals and T-shirt weather, plus the days are extra long that time of the year (~16 hours of sunshine), so the heat lingers longer.
That being said, in other years it has been chilly and rainy - so be prepared for anything! As others have mentioned, layers work best - but summer layers rather than cold weather layers. Sorry can't be more specific.
