Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered some news that people living close to border have been waiting to hear for the past 16 months. Last week, Trudeau spoke with provincial and territorial premiers to discuss restrictions imposed last year due to the novel coronavirus. Both Canada and the United States closed the border to non-essential traffic at the beginning of the health care crisis. Trudeau previously said he wouldnât consider reopening until at least 75% of his countryâs population has been fully vaccinated. But on Monday, the Canada government announced it will allow fully vaccinated Americans and permanent U.S. residents to cross the border beginning Aug. 9. Canada also welcome fully vaccinated individuals from all countries Sept. 7, provided the situation continues to improve.
