The federal government has launched the Canada Strong Pass, a new program designed to make summer travel within our country more affordable for Canadians and visitors.
From now through September 2, the pass gives Canadians free admission to all national parks, historic sites, and marine conservation areas managed by Parks Canada.
You can see a list of them HERE.
But the perks don’t stop there. If you enjoy camping, the pass offers a 25 percent discount on camping fees, whether you prefer pitching a tent, parking an RV, or staying in a cabin or yurt. Plus, overnight backcountry trips are included.
For families, the Canada Strong Pass is especially generous: children aged 17 and under get free admission to national museums and travel for free on VIA Rail when accompanied by an adult. Young adults aged 18 to 24 enjoy half-price museum tickets and 25 percent off rail fares. It’s a perfect way to get the next generation outside and exploring Canada’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
Ontario boasts countless options to take advantage of the pass, from the stunning shores of Georgian Bay to the somber history at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. And you won’t have to carry a physical pass: just show up at any eligible site or book your campsite or rail ticket online to get the discounts.
So whether it’s a weekend getaway to the stunning Bruce Peninsula, a scenic train ride across the country, or a family visit to a museum filled with Canadian stories, the Canada Strong Pass offers a great reason to get outside and explore.
