Seasonal Passes
Get Outside!
Get out and explore all that the region has to offer. Recreation in a natural setting has proven physical, mental and spiritual health benefits. For just $80 each year, you can hit the beach, hike or bike nearly 100 kilometres of trail, see rare bird species during the spring and fall migration celebration, bring your family to dozens of fun events and explore the beautiful and rare natural areas in the Essex Region – as many times as you like! Passes include a dash card and a key fob for entry through our automated gate at Holiday Beach Conservation Area.
For those purchasing NEW passes, a fob and package will be processed within 1-2 business days and mailed to you by Canada Post. For those renewing a seasonal pass (and already have a fob), your fob will be activated within 1-2 business days and a package mailed to you. Our staff are continuing to work remotely and process seasonal passes.
