Canadian Border Security: Apple Orchards

S Line Dept: Residents have started a petition and hope to convince Ottawa to reverse the decision, according to CTV. Up to 70 per cent of the apple orchards in the region are in the town of Franklin, and money poured into advertising the town and its agriculture would become futile if the border is closed, said Franklin Mayor Suzanne Yelle-Blair and those opposed to Ottawa's plan to close the Franklin border crossing gathered Wednesday to explain why they think the move would be disastrous for the local economy, and in particular apple orchards in the region. In July, the town received a letter from the Canadian Border Security Agency stating that next spring, the Franklin border will be closed along with the Jamieson's Line station south of Huntingdon. As reported in the news.
