Find adventure, fun for the whole family, or a short break from the everyday. There's never been a better time to make your Parks Canada dream a reality!

Start planning your next visit at parkscanada.gc.ca/visit.

Looks like it's still on.

Not sure when this expires, but better to get it just in case.

BUMP

has anyone got theirs yet?

I ordered one in the third week of December and haven't received it yet. I know demand is probably pretty big, but 2 months?

I guess I'll reorder one.

Mine came maybe a week ago? I ordered when this thread was made

Just ordered. Thanks k3mps for the bump!

There are like, no parks within a reasonable distance of the lower mainland to utilize these passes I learned once I received mine lol:(

I'm still waiting, I ordered a few weeks ago. Going camping this weekend so sadly I guess I won't be able to use it

I got mine like a month ago. I think the only place I can use it locally is the Georgia cannery in Steveston.

Got mine early this week. Ordered when this thread was created.

Sorry off topic but Where you going camping?

You can borrow mine.

Let me know when and where I can give you one of mine. I have an extra one.

I laughed at this the other night. I had heard this from my GF last summer I believe... not a peep since then.

I was in Mexico last weekend, and an american says he's coming up this summer to take advantage of the free parks. Like How the Eff do they know, and I barely know? hahah

Thank you everybody for the offers, but turns out it would be useless anyways where I'm going. So I suppose I can wait. Gonna go near manning park and do some hike in camping. Should be snowing this weekend too; excited

I read that MEC was a place where you could walk in and get a free park pass for those not wanting to wait for shipping. Haven't tried, as I already have one, but I don't see why they wouldn't have it at like the broadway location. GL

"Exciting news for park explorers: you can now pick up a free 2017 Discovery Pass at your local MEC. Stop by any MEC store and visit the Member Service Desk between February 13 and October 31, 2017, to get your free Parks Canada pass."

For those that don't know - This pass only works for Parks Canada (i.e. National Parks and National Historic sites).

Provincial parks do not apply.

Wait, you can use it at the Cannery?

Yup

I grabbed one at the mec broadway location. Thanks.

for anyone who was interested, manning park this weekend was... a mixed bag. snowed about 35cm the night/morning we headed up there so it was slow going on the crows nest. all the snowshoe tracks were covered so then walking was slow going as well. hit up the back country. set up camp and the sky cleared up. thermometer on tent was showing -18c throughout the night. snow base was about 5ft, and the air was still. stoves barely worked, fire wouldn't stay lit. then snowed in the morning as i slept in as long as possible. the winter beater never skipped a beat though

was a great experience lol.

Planning to order one, let's see how it turns out to be...

-got my Parks Canada pass last week. :victory:

I'm just curious if anyone has used this yet? I've got mine but it seems to me Parks Canada is offering free admission to everyone in 2017 because of Canada 150. Seems like showing up without this pass gets you in. I highly doubt there will be people checking for this

The pass itself looks like somthing you'd hang from a car mirror?

Maybe just gets your car in?
