Canadian border reopening in November

The Biden administration will reopen border entry in November to international travelers who are fully vaccinated, the Associated Press reported Oct. 12. The specific date was not stated.

On Oct. 13 Gov. Jay Inslee released a statement saying, “The local economies of border communities in Washington and other states are connected to our friends across the border, and their recovery from the pandemic has been delayed by the border closure. I am proud of the work my office, the Department of Commerce, our congressional delegation, and other state and local partners did to help these communities persist through the unique circumstances put upon them by the pandemic.

“I also appreciate the Biden administration’s requirement that those traveling by land show proof they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Vaccinations are the safest and most effective way to reduce the risk of infection and serious complications from this virus.”
