Canadians and international visitors can visit all national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas for free on Canada Day. Lockage along the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site and the Rideau Canal National Historic Site, as well as at Quebec's historic canals, will also be free on July 1.
“There is no better way to spend this national holiday than by diving into history or getting outdoors with friends and family,” Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, said in a news release.
Parks Canada protects a vast network of cultural and natural heritage places that includes 171 national historic sites, 47 national parks, five national marine conservation areas and one national urban park.
Admission to all Parks Canada-administered places is free year-round,\ for youth 17 and under. New Canadian citizens can get one year of free admission through the Institute for Canadian Citizenship’s Canoo mobile app. The Parks Canada Discovery Pass — sold online, on site and at partner retailers — provides unlimited admission for a full year to more than 80 destinations across the country and is $72.25 ($56 USD) for adults.
