Does my park pass cover the cost of air evacuations?

While visiting Canada’s magnificent national parks, it’s important to understand the extent of coverage provided by your park pass. In most Canadian national parks, a valid park pass does include coverage for emergency air evacuation—an essential safeguard for visitors exploring remote areas. However, this coverage does not extend to provincial parks or areas outside national park boundaries. Additionally, costs associated with ground ambulance transport, hospital care, or other medical services after an evacuation are not included. For these reasons, we encourage all adventurers—regardless of destination—to secure comprehensive emergency medical insurance before heading into the backcountry. Taking this extra step ensures your safety and peace of mind, allowing you to fully enjoy the incredible experiences and wild beauty that Canada’s parks have to offer.
