Parks Canada offers free admission throughout the year – but only for MIGRANTS

Parks Canada has announced a program providing newcomers and new Canadian citizens free admission to all of Canada's national parks and historic sites throughout the year, while other Canadians continue to pay.

"Using the Institute for Canadian Citizenship's Canoo mobile app, enjoy free admission to all places administered by Parks Canada across the country for one full year. Visit one of Canada's national historic sites, each telling a unique story to piece together the defining moments in the story of Canada," Parks Canada posted on its official website.

"Get back to nature and unwind amidst the spectacular scenery in Canada's national parks and marine conservation areas. Celebrate your arrival in Canada or your citizenship with great Canadian experiences. Check out some of the most awesome places in Canada. We look forward to welcoming you!"

The initiative, titled "Free Admission for Newcomers to Canada and New Canadian Citizens," applies to all parks in Canada from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. The initiative places no restrictions on the number of visits or the duration of the free access.
