2026 fee adjustment

Under the Service Fees Act, Parks Canada, among other federal departments and agencies, is required to automatically adjust its fees to accommodate inflation. Fees and pricing for Parks Canada administered places will increase on January 1, 2026.

More information

  • In 2020, Parks Canada began a cycle of adjusting fees, every two years, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
  • The next CPI increase of 10.7% is scheduled for January 1, 2026 and will apply to all Parks Canada fees. The prices updated in January 2026 will be valid until the next scheduled increase on January 1, 2028.
  • Fees do not exceed the costs of delivering the service to visitors. Visitor fees only recover a portion of the costs for delivering services to visitors, keeping visitor experiences more affordable.
