Cannabis use at Parks Canada places
Provincial, territorial, and municipal cannabis legislation applies to national parks, national historic sites, national marine conservation areas, and National Urban Park. Some Parks Canada locations or townsites may have additional regulations or restrictions.
Understanding local laws on non-medical cannabis use is important when planning your trip.
Where cannabis can be used at Parks Canada places

In Parks Canada campgrounds, non-medical cannabis consumption is limited to the visitor’s campsite.
Consumption is not permitted in campground common areas (such as playgrounds, kitchen shelters, washrooms, trails, or roads.)
Outside of campgrounds, public cannabis consumption rules differ between provinces and territories and also may differ between Parks Canada places. Find details below, and always check the official regulations for the province, territory, or municipality you will be visiting.
