Whatcom jobs, families depend on an open U.S.-Canada border. Here’s the summer outlook

Fully reopening the U.S.-Canadian border is going to take time, and it will be even longer before cross-border shopping and visits recover.

Three experts talked about the future of the border in the presentation, which was moderated by Laurie Trautman, director at Western’s Border Policy Research Institute.
