How will the passport rules affect me?

Heading over to Canada for Dinner from Western New York?

Not so fast, soon you will need a passport to cross the boarder.

In Western New York we are comfortable crossing the border on a regular basis. Especially in Niagara Falls! Look across the gorge and we see Canada! Never thinking twice about it, well now we soon will have to think about it with the new travel regulations that are set to go into place sometime in June 2009. There is more information regarding these regulations at the Department of Homeland Security’s website.
