'Canada Strong' pass aims to make sightseeing cheaper for Canadians
For families looking to make the most of summer in Canada without the extra cost, this could be the ticket.
Summer just got a whole lot easier on the wallet for Canadian families with the launch of the Canada Strong Pass.
It’s designed to help kids and young families discover the best of Canada-for free.
Under the plan, children and youth under 18 will get free admission to national parks, galleries and museums and free VIA Rail tickets when travelling with a parent, while 18 to 24-year-olds will see steep discounts.
Camping at National Parks will be more affordable with fees reduced.
The Federal Government wants Canadians to spend their money at home.
From B.C. to Newfoundland, Yukon to southern Ontario, there is no shortage of wilderness and weather to explore in the Great White North.
The Canada Strong Pass will be available starting in June, with the hope that provincial parks will also jump on board.
