News - Labour Day

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds travelers to plan ahead for their Labour Day weekend travel plans. The CBSA is expecting higher traffic volumes throughout the holiday weekend, particularly on Sunday, September 6 and Monday, September 7.

The Labour Day long weekend has the dubious distinction of being the holiday weekend with the highest rate of people killed, according to Manitoba Public Insurance claims data.

Over the last two months there have been 23 road fatalities on Manitoba roadways, according to Manitoba Public Insurance claims data.

With ongoing summer travel and the back to school season underway, the Canada Border Services Agency is expecting higher traffic volumes throughout the holiday weekend and into Monday.
