Do any neighbors to the north have any sense of the current rules regulating my driving up to eastern BC to retrieve a canvas canoe we are having restored ?

I know I can look up the rules for passage at the border....but more of what I am asking you is the reality of life lately.

The fellow that has had my Old Town canvas canoe for nearly three years insists that provincial rules prohibit my retrieving it.

 

He is located in Grand Forks, BC

I wonder if he is just leaning on "the rules" to procrastinate a little further in completing the work.

I hope you all are having as best summer as can be expected.

Probably best to look it up directly... But something I'm waiting for from a Canadian manufacturer will have to be delivered across the border to the USA by them -- i.e., I can't go get it myself -- because only commercial traffic is permitted across the border currently...they tell me.

Thanks Mark

 

So the makers of a new product told you that ?

 

That's helpful to know.

Yes, I'm waiting for the border to open so we can get north to our cabin.  Currently closed to all but essential traffic until June 21, but (I think) most likely will continue to be closed beyond that date.  Frustrating, but understandable given the relative difference in virus cases and response between the US and Canada.

Thanks Vic

 

We have actually wondered about the boat repair guy bringing our canoe 8 miles to the small boarder crossing and passing it to us on the other side.

 

Not sure that would be acceptable to the authorities on either side.

 

There is a creek parralel to this road system ....maybe he should set it adrift upstream on his side....small park just downstream :).
