Harrison Grubb is reporting for News10 fully vaccinated Americans can once again travel across the Canadian border. Travelers must show their ArriveCAN receipt, original proof of full vaccination and a completed pre-arrival COVID test “It’s really encouraging that we’re going to be able to see our American neighbors, friends and in many cases, family members come back to our community,” said Wayne Redekop, the mayor of Fort Erie, Ontario. New York State Senator Dan Stec said, "... I think it’s a great step forward, but it’s certainly frustrating knowing that there still can’t be a uniform flow across the border.” And while fully vaccinated Americans can resume non-essential travel north of the border, vaccinated Canadians still cannot cross into the United States. Stec says that policy continues to impact businesses and tourist destinations from the Capital Region through the North Country. The U.S. will continue to ban non-essential travel from Canada through at least August 21. Travel restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border have been extended through August 21.
