The Canada Strong Pass ends on September 2, 2025, offering free access to national parks and discounts on VIA Rail travel for families and youth across the country. This is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

The Canada Strong Pass offers Canadians and visitors free and discounted access to top national attractions between June 20 and September 2, 2025, making travel more affordable this summer

Take Advantage of the Canada Strong Pass Before It Ends

Under this program, children aged 2–17 can travel free on all VIA Rail routes in Economy and Escape classes when accompanied by an adult. To use this offer, travelers must apply the promo code CANADAFAM when booking their tickets through VIA Rail.

Young adults aged 18–24 benefit from a 25% discount in the same fare classes by entering the code CANADA1824 at checkout. Both offers are valid only if travel is booked and completed by September 2, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

VIA Rail Discounts Make the Canada Strong Pass Even More Valuable

This initiative supports accessible and sustainable domestic travel during the summer. High demand for seats, especially to destinations like Jasper, Quebec City, and Halifax, means early booking is strongly recommended.

Anyone who purchased VIA Rail tickets before June 16 may be eligible for a partial refund if their trip qualifies under the Canada Strong Pass conditions. Travelers should check details on the official VIA Rail page.

In addition to train travel, the Canada Strong Pass includes free entry to all Parks Canada national parks and historic sites. Full details on eligibility and partner locations can be found at: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/canada-pass.html

As Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland stated, the Canada Strong Pass makes it easier and more affordable for youth and families to explore Canada by rail this summer.

There are only a few weeks left. With park access and VIA Rail discounts ending soon, now is the time to plan your trip and use the Canada Strong Pass before the opportunity is gone.
