& k/ H: `$ ^0 F% a! w. CChwin adds that with the low Canadian dollar he expects we’ll see more Albertan’s traveling within our borders, rather than heading to the States.

That’s going to show a number of itineraries and road trips throughout the province. Those are great suggestions for Albertans or other Canadians who decide to take a staycation, and want to see something new and different.”

In 2017 all national parks in Canada will be free, to celebrate our nation’s 150th birthday.
