Tourism Officials Welcome Border Initiative


Tourism officials in northwestern Ontario are welcoming a move by the federal government to make it easier for Americans with minor criminal offences to cross into Canada.

Tom Pearson, president of the Northwestern Ontario Tourism Association, says the plan takes direct aim at a issue they've long complained about.

Pearson says they're awaiting on the details of the plan, but it is expected to be come into effect this year.
