ACTA Statement on Border Opening

ACTA has responded to Monday's border opening announcement with the following statement.

"ACTA is very encouraged by the news today about fully vaccinated Americans being allowed into Canada as of Aug. 9 and fully vaccinated international travelers in September. We are also very glad to see that the quarantine requirements for children under 12 will be eased and that inbound PCR testing will be moved to random Aug. 9.

It is especially encouraging to finally see that border restrictions are being eased for "non essential" travel. This has been long-awaited and is a great step forward!

Of particular importance to ACTA members will be the easing of travel restrictions for Canadians . Currently there is still a travel advisory to "avoid all travel outside Canada". ACTA has strongly advocated that this should be modified and we hope that this follows in short order in alignment with today's announcements. ACTA will be following up with the government and advocating for this. "
