 Members of the CF get free Via rail travel for the month of July this summer, and can take up to 5 family members for 50% off. For the first half of July I'll be based in Halifax. For the rest of the month I'll be in Quebec city. Free train access will be amazing! I can explore the East Coast on my leave days!

Will you actually be "in" the CF? Here's what the website says about qualifying for the discount:

Qualifying adult passenger is defined as any adult 18 years of age or older who is in possession of either a valid DND photo identification card, Canadian Military Record of Service card (ND175), any Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) benefit card, Dependent ID card, or Canex "Club XTra" card. Note that offer is not open to Canex Club XTra card holders who are members of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires, nor to members of the RCMP.

So basically if you get a military ID you're good. CG is four days on, four days off right? if that's the case you'll have enough time to tour around a bit for sure!
