Canada is offering free and discounted entry to parks, museums, and train travel across the country from June 20 to September 2, 2025, through a new program called the Strong Pass.
This summer, Canada is making it easier for people to explore the country. From June 20 to September 2, 2025, the Canada Strong Pass gives everyone free access to all national parks, historic sites, and marine conservation areas.
You don't need to buy or sign up for the pass. Just visit any participating place and enjoy the benefits. There is no card, no digital pass, and no payment needed.

People with VIA Rail bookings between June 20 and September 2, made before June 16, 2025, can also ask for a partial refund. Just fill out the refund form on their official website.
