Daily Hive is calling it good news for businesses and families that “have suffered under the continued border shutdown,” an American Congressman announced late Tuesday that the US-Canada land border would soon re-open for non-essential travel.
Brian Higgins said on Twitter that fully-vaccinated Canadians will be allowed to cross into the US by land border starting in November.
“At long last, there is action by the U.S. to open the doors [and] welcome back our Canadian neighbours,” Higgins, a New York representative, said.
The 19-month shutdown has been financially devastating for businesses who rely on cross-border partnerships, and heart-wrenching for families forced apart, Higgins said.
Canada re-opened its land borders to US tourists on August 9 (DailyHive Vancouver via Instagram).
