This summer, Canadians can enjoy the very best Canada has to offer with the Canada Strong Pass.
From museums and railroads to national parks and camping spots, the federal government is making it easier for families to choose Canada as they make their summer plans—and enjoy the places and experiences that bring us together and make Canada strong.
“Transportation is more than just a means to get from one place to another—it’s a way to connect Canadians and help them discover the great beauty and history of our country,” said Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Transport and Internal Trade. “The Canada Strong Pass makes it easier and more affordable for families and young people to explore our country by rail this summer. Whether it’s discovering a new part of the country or revisiting a favourite spot, this initiative allows Canadians to travel, connect and celebrate what makes our country so special.”
From June 20 to Sept. 2, 2025, the Canada Strong Pass will offer expanded access to Canada’s nature and culture across the country, helping families discover and celebrate Canada throughout the summer.
