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.

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." https://www.mec.ca/en/explore/parks-canada-passes

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.

A new year is just around the corner, and many of you have already heard about or ordered a Parks Canada 2017 Discovery Pass, allowing pass holders to enter Parks Canada National Parks, National Marine Conservation Areas and National Historic Sites for free for the entire year! But did you know that these commemorative passes are also available at most of the Parks Canada sites — including the Gulf of Georgia Cannery NHS?
Not only will the Cannery offer free regular admission* during 2017, but we also have the 2017 Discovery Passes available for anyone who enters our site, starting January 2 (the Cannery is closed on January 1) – there’s no need to order them advance of visiting the Cannery.

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.  Untitled by 320iCar, on Flickr | |

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?
