Here's how families are using the Canada Strong Pass

Jason Zachidniak visiting the Canadian Museum of History with his children on friday, June 27, 2025. (Peter Szperling/ CTV News Ottawa) As the school year winds down, get ready to pack your bags to hop on a train, visit a national park, or a museum – free for some, depending on age. Children aged 17 and under can visit several national museums in Ottawa for free this summer under the new Canada Strong Pass, and Via Rail has free or discounted passes too. As part of the Canada Strong Pass, children aged 17 and under can travel for free on VIA Rail when accompanied by an adult. There will be a 25 per cent discount for young adults aged 18 to 24. 'Today we're going to Toronto. So, my oldest grandson, who's 17, we used the pass for him. It was great,' said Barbara Ferguson, who is travelling to Toronto from Fallowfield Station on VIA rail. She estimates they saved 'about $250,' dollars on the trip because of the pass. 'I think it's great. Like it's a great way to travel. Yeah, it's a great idea, especially for the summer. Stay in Canada (and) see, our beautiful country,' said Cindy Gaul who is travelling with June Keon – who is celebrating her birthday with a trip to Toronto. 'As Canada's national rail passenger service, VIA Rail is proud to support the Canada Strong initiative,' said Via Rail in a written statement to CTV News. 'Since the program's launch on June 16, families and young Canadians have been steadily using it to make reservations on our trains and explore the country. By making travel in Canada more accessible, this partnership strengthens Canadian pride, supports local economies, and promotes sustainable, shared experiences across Canada's diverse communities.' Canada Strong Pass offers free admission for children aged 17 and under, and 50 per cent off admission fees for youth aged 18 to 24. 'I wouldn't have been able to hit the four museums that we went to,' said Jason Zachidniak, who is visiting from Montreal with his two children. 'I figured it was a good opportunity to educate my children.' Friday morning, he was at the Canadian Museum of History. 'We're really excited to be able to expand our audiences, and welcome people that may have not considered the museums in a long time,' said Stephanie Fortin, director of Commercial Operations with the Canadian Museum of History. 'We've noticed a pretty good increase in visitation,' said Jason Armstrong, director of visitor experience at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. 'About half of the people who walk in the front door know about it. And they've come specifically because they come with their families, and they have kids. And so, they know they're going to be free. And then about half still haven't heard about it. And when they find out, they're very pleasantly surprised.' Armstrong says that anyone with a membership will have it extended for an additional two months, which is 'a great opportunity for them to keep visiting even more.' 'That's great news. We'll get an extra two months. (The) girls love it here,' said a visitor with a membership. Canada Strong Pass offers free admission for children aged 17 and under, and 50 per cent off admission fees for youth aged 18 to 24.

North Korea will open a beach resort with plans to allow foreign visitors

Article content In February this year, a small group of international tourists visited North Korea for the first time in five years, but tourist agencies said in March that their tours to North Korea were paused. Article content Article content Kim's recent foreign policy prioritizes relations with Russia as he's been supplying troops and conventional weapons to support its war against Ukraine in return for economic and military assistance. But North Korea's ties with China, which has long been its biggest trading partner and aid benefactor, have apparently cooled as China is reluctant to join an anti-Western alliance with North Korea and Russia, analysts say. Article content Tuesday's ceremony that marked the completion of the resort's construction drew the Russian ambassador to North Korea and his embassy staff, KCNA said. But it didn't say whether any Chinese diplomats were also invited. Article content 'There seems to be issues that North Korea hasn't yet resolved in its relations with China. But North Korea has put in too much money on tourism and plans to spend more. Subsequently, to get its money's worth, North Korea can't help receiving Chinese tourists,' Lee Sangkeun, an expert at the Institute for National Security Strategy, a think tank run by South Korea's intelligence agency. Article content Lim Eul-chul, a professor at Kyungnam University's Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul, also said that foreign tourism to the Wonsan-Kalma site will begin with Russians. But he said Chinese tours to the zone, a sort of civilian exchange, will also begin soon, adding bilateral trade between China and North Korea has been recovering. Article content Article content Lim said that South Korean and American tours to North Korea won't likely restart anytime soon, though both new liberal South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and U.S. President Donald Trump have expressed hopes to revive dialogue with North Korea. Article content In January when Trump boasted about his ties with Kim, he said 'I think he has tremendous condo capabilities. He's got a lot of shoreline,' a likely reference to Wonsan-Kalma. Article content North Korea hasn't publicly responded to Trump's outreach. It has repeatedly rejected Washington and Seoul's dialogue offers and focused on expanding its nuclear weapons program since Kim's high-stakes nuclear diplomacy with Trump collapsed in 2019.
