So far no one has posted about this that I can see.
For Canada's birthday, Parks Canada is giving away the 2017 Discovery Pass. This pass is free including free shipping. Note that this is for National Parks, not Provincial Parks which you need a separate pass for.
Also note - Reservations for camp sites in National Parks are available NOW. Due to free entry sites will go fast. We just booked a back country site for a group for the Canada Day long weekend. If you're interested then reserve quick.
So what can you see?
47 National Parks across Canada. Five National marine conservation areas and 171 National historic sites. All free.
Welcome to Parks Canada Passes and Permits
For all of 2017 this pass gives you unlimited opportunities to enjoy National Parks, National Marine Conservation Areas and National Historic Sites across the country!
Please note:
You only need to order one pass for your group or family if you are all travelling together. A 2017 Discovery Pass is valid for everyone arriving in the same vehicle at a national park, or arriving together at a marine conservation area or historic site.
The Discovery Pass is only accepted at national historic sites which are operated by Parks Canada.
Activities such as tours or parking that normally carry a separate fee may not be covered by the Discovery Pass.
Camping fees are not included with the Discovery Pass
Validity Period: January 1st 2017 to December 31st 2017.
Display: The 2017 Discovery Pass must be hung from the rear view mirror of the vehicle facing forward or it can be placed on the front driver side dashboard facing up.
