CBSA to adjust operating hours at Fraser Valley border crossing

ALDERGROVE – The federal government will adjust its hours of operation at a Fraser Valley border crossing starting next month to better align with permanent year-round daylight saving time.

According to a statement, the Canada Border Services Agency says it will adjust its opening and closing times at nine land ports of entry in British Columbia to maintain alignment with hours at the neighbouring U.S. ports of entry.

One of those nine land ports of entry is the Aldergrove, B.C., border crossing. Instead of its current hours of 8 a.m. to midnight seven days a week, the new hours are now 9 a.m. to 1 a.m., seven days a week.

The CBSA says the change follows British Columbia’s decision to adopt permanent year-round daylight saving time. Since the United States will continue to change its clocks seasonally, adjusting the operating hours at the BC ports of entry in the fall and spring means alignment of service hours between Canada and the U.S. will be maintained year-round at these nine sites.
