Celebrate Canada Day With Free Entry To All Parks Canada Locations

Celebrate Canada Day With Free Entry To All Parks Canada Locations

Every year Parks Canada celebrates Canada Day by offering with free admission at national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas!

Canada Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the diverse perspectives of our shared culture and history. This includes learning more about the historic and contemporary contributions of Indigenous peoples, their histories and cultures, as well as the special relationships Indigenous peoples have with ancestral lands and waters. Parks Canada administered places tell us the stories of who we are and allow visitors to experience the country’s rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage. These special places are the perfect setting for the many stories yet to be made this summer.

Parks Canada is committed to providing all visitors with high quality and meaningful experiences across the country. To make the most of their Parks Canada experience, visitors are encouraged to plan their trip in advance. The Parks Canada App provides accessibility support and on-the-go access to essential information for planning, travelling, and visiting Parks Canada administered places. The app also provides exclusive access to on-site experiences, such as interactive self-guided mobile tours that allow you to explore at your own pace… right there at your fingertips! Visitors can also visit the Parks Canada website, sign up for Parks Canada’s e-newsletter, listen to Parks Canada’s podcast ReCollections, and follow Parks Canada on social media for inspiration to help plan the perfect visit.

On July 1, admission will be free at all Parks Canada administrated places across the country. I hope you will spend this day with family and friends creating your own stories against the backdrop of inspiring national historic sites or breathtaking national parks and national marine conservation areas. Happy Canada Day!
— The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada

Don’t forget that access for the day is free, however if you want to camp that is still a regular fee.
