Parks Canada has shut down vehicle access nationwide
Parks Canada has announced that they’ll be taking another step towards combatting the spread of the COVID-19 virus, and this one will be huge. After Wednesday, March 25th, visitor vehicle access will be suspended at all national parks, marine conservation areas, and historic sites until further notice.
Parks Canada said that they hope this admittedly bold and polarizing move will reduce the areas in which the virus could be transmitted. This is just another necessary action Canada is taking to control such a rapid health crisis.

Ah, as much as we would like to escape the city this weekend, we recognize the importance of flattening the curve. Let’s all do our part and stay the heck inside, peeps.
More information from Parks Canada and the government is expected to come, so we’ll keep you guys updated. But until then, stay strong, folks.
