OTTAWA — The “Canada Strong Pass’ takes effect Friday, offering free admission to national parks, national historic sites and marine conservation areas maintained by Parks Canada.
The pass also includes a 25 per cent discount on camping fees.
The program, which runs until Sept. 2, follows up on a Liberal campaign promise to promote Canadian tourism in response to the United States’ tariff war.
The pass also covers free national museum admission for children 17 and under, and a 50 per cent discount for 18- to 24 year-olds.
