MISSISSAUGA — Travel restrictions tied to the COVID-19 pandemic, including mask mandates, came to an end on Saturday as the last remaining border measures officially ceased to be in effect.
And some travellers say they’re meeting the changes with mixed feelings of relief and concern as they look toward an uncertain winter and signs that case counts are on the rise.
British Columbia residents Joanne and Ted Parker say they would have preferred to see the rules stay in place for masks, which are still recommended. "I didn't like it, but I wasn't going to say anything because I thought at the end of the week it's going to be OK anyway," she said. "After two and a half years, I think people are tired of it. They want to get onto some semblance of normal."
In announcing the end of the restrictions, federal ministers said the latest wave of COVID-19 has largely passed and travel-related cases aren't having a major impact.
