Stories from the canada-US border during COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to many changes in our daily lives. Along the Canada-US border, the border closure had specific impacts on border communities: family separation, disruption of networks of care, lack of access to essential goods, job and revenue losses and others.

While some stories – or parts of stories – have been shared, others have not. This brief survey aims to collect your stories, experiences, anecdotes of life along the Canada-US border while the border was closed due to pandemic measures.
