OTTAWA, September 2, 2025
This summer, Canadians reconnected with their country and experienced the places, cultures and stories that shape our shared identity, bring us together and makes Canada strong.
Since its launch in June, the Canada Strong Pass has led to increased visits across national, provincial and territorial museums, historic sites, parks as well as increased rail travel. Canadians’ enthusiasm for exploring and celebrating their country also supported local communities and businesses across Canada.
Over the summer, the Canada Strong Pass enhanced access to national parks, historic sites and marine conservation areas administered by Parks Canada, with free admission and reduced camping fees. Children and youth enjoyed free or discounted entry at national museums and the Plains of Abraham Museum, while several provinces and territories extended similar benefits at their own cultural institutions. VIA Rail Canada also made travel more affordable through the pass.
As the initiative concludes, the Government of Canada remains committed to supporting initiatives that makes it easier for everyone to discover and enjoy Canada. The Canada Strong Pass will have left a lasting impression, making this a summer to remember and highlighting that our country is strong, diverse and worth celebrating.
