Minnesotans could start heading north of the border next month.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that his country could start allowing Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to enter the country by mid-August for non-essential travel. The northern border, which spans more than 5,500 miles, has been closed for over a year to non-essential traffic.

Businesses on both sides of the border say that travel restrictions have hit them hard since the pandemic began.
