Reconnect With Nature to Support Your Health & Wellness
At Complete Wellness Clinic, we are proud to participate in PaRx, Canada’s national, evidence-based nature prescription program. PaRx is led by the BC Parks Foundation and supported by health-care professionals across the country who recognize the healing power of the outdoors.
As a registered PaRx prescriber, we can offer qualifying patients free access to local green spaces, including 10 visits to Conservation Halton parks — helping you reconnect with nature as part of your wellness plan.
What Is PaRx?
PaRx (Parks Prescription) is a public health initiative that encourages healthcare providers to prescribe time in nature as part of a patient’s overall care. The program is backed by decades of research linking nature exposure with improved physical and mental well-being.
Benefits of Time in Nature May Include:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Improved energy and sleep quality
- Lower blood pressure and inflammation
- Stronger immune system
- Enhanced focus, mood, and overall quality of life
PaRx is designed to make outdoor experiences accessible, simple, and effective, with helpful tools and exclusive offers that reduce barriers to green time.
How to Use Your PaRx Nature Prescription
Once you’ve received a nature prescription from your provider at Complete Wellness Clinic, follow these steps to access your park pass:
1. Log your PaRx at parkprescriptions.ca (Use the “Log your PaRx” link in the top-right corner)
2. You’ll receive a confirmation email. In that email, click: “Check out list of exclusive PaRx partner offers here”
3. Choose Ontario from the dropdown. Then scroll to find Conservation Halton
4. Click Access Coupon Code, and complete the PaRx request form
5. Wait for your email with the coupon code (this may take a few days)
6. Book your park visit online as a non-member, and enter your coupon code at checkout (This code will remove the entry fee for eligible parks.) Alternatively, you may be able to show your code at the park gate, although this is not guaranteed.
Important: You must register within 2 weeks of receiving your prescription. Once received, your coupon code is valid for 10 visits over 3 months.
Make the Most of Your Nature Time
Here are a few simple tips to get the most benefit from your green time:
Aim for at least 2 hours per week, in segments of 20 minutes or more
Schedule your nature time like any other appointment
Add green time to your regular routines (walks, commutes, workouts)
Invite a friend or loved one for accountability and shared health benefits
Be safe, prepared, and respectful of nature and park guidelines
Remember, what counts as nature time is what feels meaningful to you, whether it’s a walk in the woods, a moment on a park bench, or a scenic lookout.
