Here's which Ontario museums and galleries are part of the Canada Strong Pass

The Canada Strong Pass is in full effect this summer, bringing Canadians to discover the country’s majestic parks, historic sites, and stellar train journeys.
From Friday, June 19, to Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, the Canada Strong Pass unlocks adventures to some of Canada’s most notable experiences at reduced prices, or even for free.
What is the Canada Strong Pass?
For those unfamiliar with the offer, the pass is not a physical card you need to purchase, sign up for or collect. According to the Government of Canada, all you have to do is visit any participating Parks Canada site, museum, gallery, or Via Rail to benefit from free admission or discounts.
Now, it’s time to start planning your summer adventures. Luckily for us, several museums and galleries in Ontario are participating in the experience.
