Summer is fast approaching, and many Canadians are planning to travel abroad. The situation in the Middle East is presenting challenges that travellers around the world need to be aware of. Fuel shortages may lead to flight cancellations and disrupt access to local goods and services at your destination. Your travel plans could be disrupted if you are travelling to the Middle East, going through the region or even if you are not travelling to the Middle East. You should carefully assess the risks of travelling abroad under the current circumstances and plan accordingly.

If you do decide to travel abroad, you should check the situation with your airline or travel agent, both before departure and upon your return. Find out more about global travel disruptions, fuel impacts and security risks.

Travelling is a personal choice, and Canadians must make informed decisions, particularly those that affect their safety and well-being while abroad. The Government of Canada’s ability to provide assistance may be limited. Find out more about the consular services we can and can’t provide.

For the last torrid year in Alberta politics, so much seemed to be building toward a separation referendum this fall. Premier Danielle Smith eased the rules repeatedly for a pro-separatist petition to succeed. Right before a court first ruled against petitioners.

But in addition to the duty to consult, Smith must reckon with another type of obligation — a political one. It may be that only 27 per cent of Albertans tell pollsters they back secession.

A Nevada location once thrived with multiple casinos, hotels, restaurants and plenty of outlet shopping.

Today, the town of Primm will have its last casino hotel close on July 4.

Located on the California-Nevada border, Primm is a 38-mile drive south from the Las Vegas Strip.

Since the 1970s, travelers driving to and from Vegas or seeking a less-expensive Sin City-style experience made Primm a booming place.

The Canadian government is opening the gates to over 200 spectacular landscapes this summer by waiving admission fees to national parks, historic sites, urban parks and marine conservation areas and lockage fees at canals on historic waterways.

On paper, it is free, but those who fail to read the fine print on parking mandates, camping discounts and provincial jurisdictions could be surprised.

There are no geographical or citizenship restrictions. The gates are open for Canadians and international visitors alike.

Furthermore, visitors don’t need to apply for a physical card or download an app. They can simply arrive at the gate and enter.
