With the U.S. land border reopening to fully vaccinated Canadians on Monday, Jaslyn DeClercq, who lives in Tillsonburg, Ont.,said she's going to wake up next Friday and drive straight to Ohio with her two-year-old for a reunion with her fiance.
Jaslyn DeClercq is counting down the days until next weekend.
“I'm ready for it to be Friday,” DeClercq said in a phone interview. “Going even 30 days without seeing him was a drastic change for us.” “I am so excited,” said the 77-year-old. “I'm hoping to go over there for a couple of days to visit my daughter and her family, especially the grandchildren. I can't wait to hug them and play.”
Mike Osborne, a Welland, Ont., resident eager to see his daughter, son-in-law and grandson in Niagara Falls, N.Y., also said the cost of getting a negative COVID-19 test will deter him from visiting the U.S. as often as he did in pre-pandemic times. At the end of the day, though, Osborne said he's willing to pay the price just to be with his loved ones, whom he hasn't seen in seven months.
