As Canada celebrates its 150th birthday, VIA Rail Canada has created an amazing deal that will help young people get out and see this great and expansive country. VIA Rail is selling the Canada 150 Youth Pass for just $150 and with this pass you’ll have access to the entire VIA Rail network with unlimited travel from July 1-31. You will have to book an economy class ticket on an escape fare, but if you’re between the ages of 12-25 (or 26+ with ISIC) this is a really great way to inexpensively travel the country.

When I went to buy a ticket for this hot offer, the link was, not surprisingly, not working – as I imagine the traffic being driven to the site has been temporarily stalled it. But if you are able to buy your Canada 150 Youth Pass, you should know how the ticket will work when you’re booking your future travel plans.

Once you have purchased your ticket, you will be able to choose from any of the VIA Rail networks and travel as often as you like in the month of July. To book your travel after purchasing your ticket, you will:

• First have to log-in to your profile before booking your tickets.
• Next, you’ll select your trip, either one-way or round trip, and select ‘youth’ for your ticket group.
• Then, you’ll have to select ‘Rail Pass’ as your discount type and then enter your Rail Pass 13-digit serial number (which you will receive after purchasing your Rail Pass)
• After all this, your trip will be reduced to $0.00!
