From June 19 to September 7, 2026, Canadians can enjoy free or discounted admission as they make Canada their travel destination. The Canada Strong Pass celebrates what unites us—our shared experiences, natural wonders, and cultural richness.

The Canada Strong Pass is not a physical pass that you need to purchase, sign up for, or collect. Canadians may simply visit any participating Parks Canada site, museum, gallery, or VIA Rail to benefit from free admissions or discounts. The Pass includes:

• Parks Canada: Free admission for all visitors to national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas administered by Parks Canada and a 25% discount on camping fees.
• National museums and the Plains of Abraham Museum: Free admission for children and teens aged 17 and under and a 50% discount for young adults aged 18 to 24.
• VIA Rail: Free travel for children aged 17 and under when accompanied by an adult and a 25% discount for young adults aged 18 to 24.
• Participating provincial and territorial museums and galleries: Free admission for children and a 50% discount for young adults aged 18 to 24.

There will be many participating provincial and territorial museums and galleries across the country. Please check directly with each site here before planning your visit.

At a time when costs remain a concern for numerous households, the Canada Strong Pass is one of the ways the Government of Canada is making life more affordable for everyone—especially youth and families—to explore Canada and celebrate what makes this country extraordinary.
