You'll have to wait another month if you're looking to cross the border in Niagara.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the restrictions at the Canada - U.S. border have been extended for another 30 days.

They're now set to expire on December 21st.

The measures first came into effect back in March and they have been extended several times since then.

Update on the Canada-US border: We’ve extended the current border measures by another 30 days. Non-essential travel between our two countries remains restricted until at least December 21st.
