Petition to the Government of Canada
- Parks Canada only offers free admission for new Canadian citizens and youth 17 and under;

- Pursuing outdoor activities like hiking, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, and skiing helps veterans cope with PTSD symptoms and transition back into civilian life;
- The U.S. offers free admission to their veterans and serving members along with accompanying passengers in a single, private, non-commercial vehicle; and
- The pass covers the pass owner and three accompanying adults age 16 and older at sites where entrance fees are charged.
