It's not a holiday, but maybe it should be.

Saturday July 15, is Parks Day, an opportunity to discover Canada's National Parks and Historic Sites.

And of course because it's Canada's 150th birthday admission is free.

The Bar U National Historic Site just off Higbhway 22, south of Longview has the Strathcona Mounted Troop riding onto the site.

Parks Canada is encouraging visitors to plan their trips, and discover new destinations by consulting Parks Canada's website, or downloading the new Parks Canada's mobile app.
