Who's ready to get back to being able to travel to Canada? I know I am! Western New Yorkers may be able to travel across the border for non-essential activities very soon. We have been patiently waiting for the green light to see our Canadian friends and now it looks like we may be able to in about a month. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that fully vaccinated WNYers could begin to visit the country as soon as mid-August, according to WIVB. The U.S.-Canada border has been closed to most Americans since March 21, 2020, according to VOA News. If the border does in fact reopen in Mid-August, it will have been closed for a record 17-months.
