In addition to free train travel, the program grants complimentary admission to national museums and galleries across Canada for youth under 18. Young adults aged 18 to 24 are eligible for significant ticket discounts when booking VIA Rail journeys.

To promote outdoor experiences, reduced camping fees in national parks will also be available to all Canadians during the summer period.

Canada Strong Pass Supports Travel and Identity

The Canada Strong Pass was introduced to foster national unity, boost the domestic tourism sector, and help families access enriching cultural and travel experiences. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that the initiative aims to ensure all young Canadians have the opportunity to explore their country affordably.

By combining free VIA Rail travel, cultural access, and outdoor incentives, the pass serves as both an economic support measure and a cultural investment in Canada’s youth.

Booking instructions and additional program details will be announced soon on viarail.ca. Families are encouraged to plan ahead and take advantage of the Canada Strong Pass while it is available.
