In the past week, reports have shown a sharp decrease in the Canadian dollar, bringing it down to .5 percent in comparison with the U.S. dollar. A weaker CAD is making it easier for travelers looking for deals, but there are more reasons than this to plan your next trip to Canada.

This year, Canada has eliminated the entry fee to all of its 47 national parks. So, travelers can visit places like Fundy National Park to see Dickson Falls or peek at the peaks of Glacier National Park free of charge.

Cheap flights, a more-than-ideal exchange rate and free entry into an assortment of stunning national parks make now the perfect time for a Canadian adventure.
