149 Years Young

To my fellow Canadians out there, I'd like to wish you a Happy Canada Day. I hope you've got the day off and you use it to go out and enjoy the nature of our great country.

Remember, day-use admission to all National Parks and Historic Sites is free on July 1 to celebrate our wonderful nation! Many locations will have Canada Day festivities for guest. Go out and explore and kick off the long weekend right.

A Birthday Celebration for Nature Lovers

The news is great for Canadians, and anyone visiting Canada and looking to explore the outdoors. As we close in on the nation's 149th birthday, a day when Canadians will be granted free admission to the national parks, it is a great chance to remind readers what is in store for next year at the parks.

As part of Canada's 150th birthday the Government of Canada announced that admission to all national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas will be free for all visitors in 2017.
