Free admission program explained by Parks Canada
Parks Canada recently reported it has noticed an increased interest in its collaboration with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship.
As a result it recently released the following information in an attempt to correct public inaccuracies.
‘Since 2012, Parks Canada has partnered with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship to offer free admission for one year to Parks Canada administered places to eligible newcomers through the Canoo mobile app,” Parks Canada stated on social media.
“Through the Canoo mobile app, the Institute for Canadian Citizenship helps newcomers and new Canadian citizens experience Canada through the arts, culture, and the outdoors. Parks Canada is one of 300 partners collaborating in making Canada welcoming for new Canadians.
“This time-limited offer encourages newcomers to Canada to discover this country and increase their appreciation, understanding, and sense of connection to natural and cultural heritage in Canada.”
Parks Canada noted these key facts about the free admission program:
- Free admission to Parks Canada administered places through the Canoo mobile app is limited to a one-year period.
- Eligible newcomers include all newcomers to Canada who are within their first five years as permanent residents or are within their first year of Canadian citizenship but have not yet activated their 12-month period of free admission.
- Regular fees still apply for other experiences and services, such as camping and guided tours and hikes.
