We want everyone to have the chance to get outside and enjoy nature. The following discounts are available for daily vehicle permits.
Ontario Parks offers discounts on day use fees to Ontario residents aged 65 and over and Ontario residents who possess a CNIB identity card or Ministry of Transportation accessible parking permit. You will be required to show proof of your eligibility when you arrive at the park.
Veterans and active members of the Canadian Armed Forces, who reside in Ontario, can enjoy free, weekday (Monday to Friday excluding holidays), day use in provincial parks. Upon arrival to a provincial park, please present a valid Canadian Armed Forces identification card (i.e., Canadian Armed Forces Veteran’s Service Card, Canadian Forces Identification Card or Record of Service Card) and proof of Ontario residency with photo identification (i.e., valid Ontario driver’s licence with photo, valid Ontario Health Card with photo, valid Ontario Photo Card, etc.)
Canoo (formerly known as the Cultural Access Pass program) is a mobile app that helps new Canadian citizens celebrate their citizenship by providing free admission to over 1,400 museums, science centres, art galleries, parks, and historic sites across Canada.
Canoo members get a complimentary daily vehicle permit at most operating provincial parks.
Some provincial parks will require Canoo members to obtain a daily vehicle permit in advance of every visit to secure a spot. Please check the park listing on the Canoo app to find out if there are special instructions before you visit a park.
Did you know you can borrow a daily vehicle permit free of charge from your local library? Get in touch with your library to find out more.
