Did you know that National Parks are FREE all year?

In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, Parks Canada announced earlier this year that they would be offering free admission to all National Parks for the entire year. The best thing about this is that most National and Provincial Parks allow on leash dogs to accompany their humans.Did You Know That National Parks Are Free All Year?

If you’re looking for a cheap, fun adventure to share with your pup this summer check out a National Park near you!

**Provincial Parks aren’t free but are generally quite cheap for a permit and you can camp and stay overnight in some breathtaking parks like Algonquin.
