Planning our Summer Travels

Summer is around the corner, and we are waiting to soak in the warm weather and explore new places. As we plan our summer trips, we find investing on a Parks Canada annual pass makes it easy to explore historical sites and national parks all across Canada.

Our children enjoy doing the Xplorers booklet that is given at the entrance, where they can do the fun activities that guides their discovery of each unique place we visit. At the end of your visit, children will receive a certificate and an official collectable souvenir recognizing them as Parks Canada Xplorers! 

Order your Parks Canada Discovery Pass soon, and enjoy unlimited admission for 12 full months from the date of purchase.

Advantages of the pass

• Faster entry and greater convenience, no need to pay daily entrance fee
• Big savings (can pay for itself in as little as seven days)
• The fees help maintain and protect the national historic sites, national marine conservation areas and national parks
• Parks Canada places now offer free admission for youth 17 and under

In the past years, we have had memorable canoe trips to explore the land, and to hike, fish, and learn about canals from guides with the park pass. This park pass gives us access to over 80 awe-inspiring attractions. We can check out national parks, national marine conservation areas, and historic sites including 12 of Canada's 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

As we plan our road trips and explore new places, we are also checking out the different parking sensors in a range of colours, as it alerts the driver of obstacles which may be there while parking. This is a good option for vehicles that don't have it built in.   

As you travel this summer, don't forget your sunscreen. 

We checked out five new EWG Verified™ dermo-cosmetic sun care collection from ATTITUDE. The 100% mineral sunscreens offer an SPF 30 broad-spectrum protection and contain natural, worry- free ingredients like non-nano zinc oxide to shield skin and provide the safest, most effective and maximal sun care protection against UVA and UVB rays. It is available in two summery scents, Tropical and Orange Blossom, and unscented for people with fragrance sensitivities. 

• It is safe and beauty enhancing for the skin. 
• Meets the highest standards of quality sunscreens undergo rigorous in vitro and in vivo testing to measure their SPF performance and effectiveness for sensitive skin.
• Non-greasy texture will coat and protect skin while moisturizing and minimizing the adverse effects of prolonged sun exposure.

The fast-absorbing After-Sun Melt-in Gel will soothe skin because of the regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties of calendula extract, known to heal skin redness and sensitivity. It is lightly infused with mint and cucumber scents. 

The fragrance-free 100% Mineral Face Stick is enhanced with olive oil, shea and cocoa butter to protect and moisturize skin as well as facilitate an easy and smooth application. 

ATTITUDE sun care products are available at various Canadian retailers including pharmacies and supermarkets such as London Drugs, Shoppers Drug Mart and select Loblaws stores.
