Border delays expected

The Canada Border Services Agency reminds travellers to plan their border crossing to avoid delays during Thanksgiving weekend.
Peak traffic volumes are anticipated at the Fort Frances port of entry on Monday (Oct. 8) between 2 and 7 p.m., when border wait times may exceed 30 minutes.

Travellers in Northwestern Ontario also may choose to enter Canada via the Rainy River port of entry.
Peak traffic volume information and anticipated border wait times are based on historical data.
The CBSA anticipates a four percent increase in traffic this weekend at the Fort Frances port of entry from previous years based on traffic volume trends to date in 2012.
The forecasted traffic volumes may vary depending on numerous factors, including weather conditions.
