Editor's Note: Latest reports indicate a Canadian border reopening July 21, 2021.
As I write this in early June, there are still no updates on the Canadian/US border opening. There are some rumors out there that the US is going to open their side of the border on June 22, the day after the latest one-month unilateral agreement expires. This would mean that individuals in Canada would be allowed to cross into the USA, although even if this rumor is true, there are no details on whether proof of vaccination would be required. Just the other day, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated that he had no intention of rushing into re-opening the border, even if other countries are pushing. Assuming the above scenario, it would mean people could travel into the USA freely, but would continue to have to quarantine when returning to Canada. Not really a sustainable plan.

For the rest of the year, we can explore the ocean and the mountains on the same day. While we share the same lakes, rivers, and streams with many other areas of North America, some would argue that we take our proximity to our glorious Pacific Ocean for granted.
