While many national parks in the United States are reopening, those in Canada remain closed at least until June 1, according to Parks Canada.

"Parks Canada understands the importance nature plays in the mental and physical well-being of Canadians, particularly now," a release from the agency said. "Parks Canada will begin a safe, gradual opening of some outdoor locations in select national parks, national historic sites, and national marine conservation areas starting June 1."

Until then, all suspensions of visitor services and closures of facilities in Canada's national parks remain in place.  

You can visit pc.gc.ca and follow Parks Canada’s social media channels for information and updates on the status of all Parks Canada places.

Additionally, the Canada Border Services Agency is advising travellers that the seasonal opening of the Chief Mountain, Alberta, border crossing (AB Hwy 6) will be delayed until further notice due to COVID-19. The Chief Mountain Highway in Waterton Lakes National Park is closed at the Belly River gate.
