Petition to Oppose Reduction of Border Hours by Canada Border Services Agency

banner image

We are calling all citizens in Shaunavon, the prairies, and the surrounding areas to ACTION!

To our knowledge, CBSA will be moving forward with a decision to reduce hours of service at ports of entry across the Prairies with little to no consultation with surrounding communities or stakeholders, and the USCBP appears to be following suit with similar changes on the U.S. side. The repercussions for families, local businesses, and community organizations with cross-border personal and commercial traffic will be severely affected with this reduction of hours. Anyone concerned about these potentially devastating changes needs to ACT NOW.
