The border re-opening on both sides is a relief and positive step toward border community recovery and returning to normal. However, the need for a PCR test to enter Canada remains a barrier to the flow of traffic over the border, to re-uniting families and to business recovery. The cost of a PCR test can vary between $150 – $300 per person which means it could cost a family of 5 up to $1500 for weekend trip to visit family. The need for the test is not based in science and is an unnecessary cost that creates a clear inequity between families who can afford the cost and those who cannot. Fully vaccinated is fully vaccinated.
