Canada’s soldiers still serving in Afghanistan are set to return home and the Alberta government is recognizing their service and dedication. Effective today, military families will have free unlimited admission to provincial museums, historic sites and interpretive centres. 

From the Oil Sands Discovery Centre in Fort McMurray to Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in Fort Macleod, military personnel and their families can show their “CFOne” cards to gain free unlimited admission to any Alberta Culture heritage facilities across the province.

Alberta Culture operates a network of provincial heritage facilities including five major museums like the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Royal Alberta Museum, 14 historic sites and interpretive centres and the Provincial Archives of Alberta.

Military families will join the more than 835,000 annual visitors who enjoy programming for all ages at Alberta’s provincial heritage facilities. Through exhibits ranging from fossils to farming, it’s a chance for military families to connect and share in the story of Alberta and its people.
