Our Supporters

We are better able to connect Canadian youth with Parks Canada's natural and cultural heritage places thanks to the following supporters of the My Parks Pass program:

• 

  Banff Lake Louise Tourism is privileged and honoured to be a partner of the Canada's Coolest School Trip contest. As Canada's first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Banff National Park plays a vital role in Canada's history and we constantly strive to impart this important and unique heritage with Canada's youth.

  In recognition of the fact that the future of Canada's protected areas relies entirely on future generations, Banff Lake Louise Tourism applauds and supports the My Parks Pass Program as a valuable means of exposing students to the importance of our national parks.

  Banff Lake Louise Tourism is a destination marketing organization for the Town of Banff, community of Lake Louise and Banff National Park.

  VIA Rail Canada is proud to support the My Parks Pass Program to help connect youth to Canada's natural and historical treasures from coast to coast. The genesis of National Parks -- and indeed of Parks Canada itself -- emanated from the work of pioneers from the passenger rail industry more than 125 years ago. In fact, today's most picturesque VIA Rail routes run through National Parks or close to National Historic Sites.

  The My Parks Pass Program is an excellent opportunity for students, classes and families to connect with the best that Canada has to offer. We are pleased to help make those links through our support of the contesting portion of this year's program.

  VIA Rail Canada operates the national passenger rail service on behalf of the Government of Canada. An independent Crown Corporation established in 1977, the company provides Canadians with safe, efficient and environmentally responsible public transportation. VIA consistently ranks as one of the most trusted transportation companies in Canada.
