\"\"Parks Canada<\/a> rolled out free admission to all national parks on Friday as part of the Canada Strong Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Free admission runs through January 15, 2026 and also includes 25% off camping and overnight accommodations.<\/p>\n

In Ontario, four locations are included: Bruce Peninsula National Park, Point Pelee National Park, Woodside National Historic Site, and Rouge National Urban Park.<\/p>\n

While park entry is free, parking and some reservation fees may still apply. The pass is aimed at encouraging Canadians to get outside during the winter, with activities like snowshoeing, tobogganing, and wildlife viewing available at many locations.<\/p>\n

\"\"The L.A. Rams<\/a> came back from 10 points down to beat the Detroit Lions<\/a> 41-34 yesterday. The loss is a blow to the Lions a third straight playoff berth.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> are out of the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. They lost to the Chargers and also lost their quarterback Patrick Mahomes for the season when he tore his ACL.<\/p>\n
