Here's the story of a local couple that was separated at the Canada-U.S. border due to COVD-19 travel restrictions. John Alan Aucoin is a Canadian citizen and his wife Adrienne Yorinks is American. The couple says they waited a few weeks before attempting to come to Canada due to medical appointments in the U.S.* The government has indicated there would be exemptions for immediate family members of Canadian citizens crossing the border to Canada, but Mrs Yorinks wasn’t allowed to come in. Here’s more on the efforts the couple is making to reunite at their home in Grand Étang and a look at how decisions are made at the border.
