The Canada Strong Pass is returning next month, which offers discounts on Via Rail travel and admission to museums and national parks.
The pass will be available from June 19 to Sept. 7.
It offers free entry to all Parks Canada sites and a 25-per-cent rebate on camping fees.
National museums are also offering free entry for children under 18 and 50 per cent off for people aged 18 to 24.
Participating provincial and territorial museums and art galleries will offer the same discounts.
Launched last summer, Canadian Heritage said the program led to a 6.5-percent increase in Via Rail Canada ridership, a 13 per cent increase in visits to Parks Canada sites, an average 15 per cent increase in attendance at national museums and an average 6.3 per cent increase in attendance at provincial and territorial museums and art galleries.
All provinces and territories saw increases in the number of visitors — except Saskatchewan. That province reported 153,920 Parks Canada visitors in 2025, down 25 per cent from 205,265 in 2023.
The renewal of the Canada Strong Pass for this summer was announced last fall, at the same time as the winter pass, which was in effect from Dec. 12 to Jan. 15.
The pass is available to all visitors, whether they are Canadian or international visitors.
