Ontario border rules limiting travel from Quebec, Manitoba expire

First Published:

Ontario’s borders with Quebec and Manitoba fully reopen Wednesday.

A provincial order restricting interprovincial travel between those provinces expired at midnight.

The regulation was introduced in April as Ontario battled a third wave of COVID-19.

It applied to land and water borders.

Travel between the regions was limited to essential reasons such as health care, custody or compassionate grounds like attending a funeral.

It also allowed law enforcement to stop and question people about their reasons for entering Ontario.
