Saskatchewan ports of entry set to return to normal hours

Nine land ports of entry in Saskatchewan are to return to pre-pandemic hours of operation Friday morning.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency, the hours of operation at the Carievale, Climax, Coronach, Estevan, Monchy, Northgate, Oungre, Regway and West Poplar River border crossings are to change Friday at 12:01 a.m.

So will the hours of operation at the Scobey Border Station Airport in Coronach.

The new hours can be found here.

The hours at the crossings changed in April of 2020 due to the effects of COVID-19.

“Border communities across Canada rely on small crossings every day,” Marco Mendicino, the federal minister of public safety, said in a release.

“The expansion of hours at ports of entry all along the Canada-U.S. border will make it easier for local residents to do everything from getting goods to market to seeing friends and family.”
