Canada is opening its national parks to visitors for free this summer. The Canada Strong Pass grants universal, free admission to 223 sites, including 48 national parks, 171 national historic sites, and 5 national marine conservation areas.
What’s Included
The pass includes free daily admission to popular national parks such as Banff and Jasper in Alberta, Pacific Rim in British Columbia, and Gros Morne in Newfoundland and Labrador. However, parking fees still apply, and visitors may need to book commercial tours or shuttles to access certain areas.
Guided tours, hikes, and programs may also require additional fees. Visitors should check with Parks Canada for specific details on what’s included and what’s not.
Discounts for Overnight Stays
Parks Canada is offering a 25% discount on camping and other overnight stays operated by Parks Canada. The discount applies to tents, RVs, and unique roofed options such as oTENTiks and yurts.
