UPDATE: It looks like the border crossings in Niagara will remain closed to non-essential traffic for another 30-days.

There have been reports that Canada and U.S. have reached a deal to extend the border restrictions. 

The original agreement between the two countries was set to expire next week. 

 

It could still be a while before Niagara’s border crossings reopen to non-essential traffic. 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the restrictions will be in effect for many more weeks if Canada has anything to say about it. 

He says they’re in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

U.S. President Donald Trump hinted yesterday that he may be in favour of relaxing the restrictions. 

The agreement between the two countries is set to expire on April 21st.
