Since they have so much time on their hands, it’s sometimes hard to figure out what to do with them during the summer season when they have two months with no school.

Luckily for us Canadians, the Canada Strong Pass has just been unveiled. That means they get loads of free experiences all across Canada– all you need to do is go with them.

CANADA STRONG PASS

The Canada Strong Pass was released on Monday, with it being advertised as a way for “Canadians [to] enjoy the very best Canada has to offer.” It allows Canadians to access museums, railroads, parks and camping spots for either free or at a discounted rate.

As the Government of Canada says, “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.”

Since U.S. tourism has taken a steep nosedive, the Government of Canada is offering domestic tourism as an alternative to heading south for the summer. And since the Canada has so much to offer– why not travel through our beautiful country this season?
