Having been closed since March of last year, Peace Arch Duty Free Shop at the Peace Arch border crossing is now open for regular business.
The Canadian government on Monday, August 9th, amended the travel restrictions allowing all Americans who are fully vaccinated to enter Canada.
The company expects to welcome American visitors at this time. The United States has not reciprocated by such arrangement; it is anticipated that the United States government will change their regulations on August 21st.
Meanwhile, Peace Arch Duty Free has been monitoring the traffic movement entering Canada and expects a moderate start and will continue to monitor the situation and its future decision to remain open.
The closure of the duty free shop has meant a substantial loss to the company as it was required to continue to pay its lease payments and a huge inventory write-off.
Peace Arch will require all its employees to be fully vaccinated and follow all safety measures.
