Canada Strong Pass – Rediscover The Country We Call Home
The new Liberal government has officially launched the Canada Strong Pass today, June 20 inviting Canadians to rediscover the country we call home.
From June 20 to September 2, the Canada Strong Pass opens the doors to national parks, museums, galleries, and historic sites.
They are helping families make memories, save money, and celebrate what unites us as Canadians.
This Pass includes:
Free admission for all visitors to national parks and historic sites administered by Parks Canada.
Free entry to national museums and galleries for children aged 17 and under, and a 50% discount for young adults aged 18 to 24.
Discounts on camping fees at Parks Canada locations.
Free VIA Rail youth travel when accompanied by an adult, and a 25% discount for young adults aged 18 to 24.
Targeted savings to help families and boost local tourism economies.
With the Canada Strong Pass, the government is making it easier and more affordable for families to enjoy the very best Canada has to offer.
