The app allows users to share experiences on social media by adding Parks Canada-themed filters and stickers to images, which is unlocked by using the GPS location of your iPhone when you arrive at a destination. The app also provides interactive maps and relevant park information.

All Parks Canada places will have free admission in 2017, part of the Federal Government’s celebration of the 150th anniversary of Confederation, coming up on July 1, 2017.
