I have a group of guys going to International falls trying to go on their Annual Fishing trip in Canada- Asking any of the Canada Guys if they heard anything on the opening of the boarder, Resort fly in Trip

Leaving June 2nd

What say You...

I can't speak for the Canadians but I do live 5 miles from the border. As of right now the ports are closed and I haven't heard any rumors of them opening anytime soon. Of course that could all change daily.

Start looking for somewhere else to go. I don’t believe the border will be open.
I fish Saskatchewan lots and they’ve got the roads into the North blocked, essential services only.

Edit- Travel is being restricted even within provinces is my point so I don’t think the border will open. We’re reopening retail business May 19

I haven't heard anything about the border opening. But like atrapper said that could change daily. Sorry, but I hope you get some good fishing in anyways!

not this year is it going to happen, sorry
Premier Ford announced yesterday, follow his youtubes

The ports are completely closed ?
No one crossing?

No Americans across the border unless you are coming over for legitimate business. We have lots of Americans here who own property and cottages and they are not allowed to come.

Most have simply cancelled for the year.

Essential travel only is what I've heard. Wife and I were planning a September paddling/brook trout trip, hoping things are opened back up by then.

Thanks Hutchy
Was thinking it would be traumatic to close it 100 percent
But it got pretty tight during 911 when the military was there
First time they actually got in the truck for a while

Not going to happen. I just got an email from transport canada. They are not allowing any boats into canadian waters until Oct 31st at the earliest.....we're hooped..

The border was set to reopen May 21 according to the original closure. By all accounts it will be extended another month according to reports.

They aren't allowing any boats? Not even locals?

I think this will drag on until November if they can pull it off. They've spent 3.5 yrs trying to ruin the President..........what's another few months?
Rush Limbaugh says it will be an all-out war the next 4 months and I wouldn't doubt it a bit.
I hope It is not.

No locals can boat, although there re restrictions on how many people can be in said boat.....havent you been told you are safe from covid in a Walmart with 500 other people but if you are in a boat with more than two covid will strike you dead?? Jeez man! They are not allowing any foreign boats in canadian waters it sounds like.

Thanks, Sounds like the census is a Big negative, Would of flown out of Sioux Lookout, Heading north about a 1/2 fly time- What does the queen say about all the Fishing camps/ Resorts about not letting People in that already booked their trips. ? A Lot of revenue lost- especially when all they do is send them out in the middle of a lake so to speak--

Even Manitoban's that have cottages in the Lake of the Woods region are asked not to shop in Kenora.
good luck in re-booking for next year

Trudeau does not care one bit and it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what he’s done to us the last few years.
Never mind the deficit spending.

We can’t even share a boat unless you live in the same household.

Sask provincial parks are only open to Sask residents and only at half capacity.

We’re so screwed for a very long time. I’m starting to think we’ll have a civil war in my lifetime.

I got a Moose hunt in September. Hope it opens.

This thread is about Canada. I doubt they are closing the border to hurt Trump.

Can you give me a link to a youtube video that says all this? My fishing budddies are saying I am full of it, that the border is opening June 21st. I have been listening to Premier Fords Youtube videos and have not heard anything about fishing and boating. They did say they were opening Marinas today.
