Summer in Canada is generally May/June to August/September with hot, humid weather often arriving earlier and staying later than this in central and eastern Canadian cities like Toronto and Montreal. West coast summers are more moderate, with less humidity and cooler evenings. Western and south-eastern Canada can experience rainfall, but the Prairies are dry with 250 mm to 500 mm of rain every year. Canada's northern regions, logically, have cooler summers, but ones that are generally comfortable and sunny. Some northern locales, like Whitehorse, Dawson City or Edmonton have daylight for between 17 and 20 hours. In central and eastern Canada, cooler temperatures in September provide relief from the heat and humidity of August. The weather in the western provinces is also very enjoyable at that time of year. Passes for National Parks in Canada and USA Within its 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada has an incredible number of parks for your enjoyment. There are 38 national parks in Canada and over one thousand provincial and territorial parks. To enjoy the national parks, you need to purchase a Discovery Pass. When you ’ re visiting national parks for 7 or more days, we recommend purchasing an annual pass. One annual adult pass costs $72.25. Family and group passes are priced at $145.25 (2022 prices). Passholders have unlimited access to nearly 80 national parks, historic sites, and marine conservation areas across the country that normally charge entry fees.
