Minister Blaney Announces New NEXUS lanes

(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 11/29/13 -- The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, today announced the opening of two additional NEXUS lanes, one at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle border crossing in Quebec and another at the Windsor-Detroit Tunnel in Ontario.

The new lanes will be used to process NEXUS members during high-volume periods and as regular lanes at other times. With the additions announced today, there are now two NEXUS lanes at this Quebec crossing, and three at the Windsor-Detroit tunnel.

"These new NEXUS lanes further illustrate our Government's commitment to facilitating the quick passage of low-risk travellers," said Minister Blaney. "We will continue to take strong action to keep our borders open to legitimate trade and travel but closed to criminals and terrorists."

These new NEXUS lanes are part of enhancements that Canada and the United States are making to the NEXUS program as part of the Beyond the Border Action Plan. These initiatives include:

Currently there are more than 917,000 NEXUS members, up from just over 601,000 in November 2011. NEXUS members also enjoy expedited travel across the Canada-U.S. border at designated air and marine locations.
