Bellingham, WALocal News

The "Canada Strong Pass" program, effective from June 20 to September 2, offers travelers and residents free entry to national parks along with discounted rates at museums and galleries. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to stimulate tourism and increase public access to Canada's natural and cultural resources. Emma Toscani reported this program aims to attract visitors during the summer months, providing a cost-effective way to explore the country's diverse attractions. The initiative is expected to bolster local economies by encouraging increased foot traffic in parks and cultural sites. As Canada seeks to recover from the impacts of the pandemic on tourism, this pass serves as a significant incentive for both locals and tourists.

The program aligns with ongoing efforts to promote outdoor activities and cultural appreciation. By making these experiences more affordable, the pass could significantly enhance visitor engagement. This initiative underscores the importance of accessible recreation and cultural activities in fostering community connection and appreciation for Canada's heritage.
