Metro Detroit residents who own cottages in Canada haven’t been able to visit them for six months, and after the latest extension of the border closure, they’re getting more worried as winter is right around the corner. For many Metro Detroiters, going to a cottage up north means going across the Bluewater Bridge into Canada, south of the border through the tunnel or across the Ambassador Bridge. But as the borders between the United States and Canada remain closed, those cottage owners haven’t had access to their properties for the last six months. The border being shut down through October means Americans with cottages in Canada have to maintain them from afar. Most cottages owners said Canadian neighbors are notorious for being thoughtful and helpful, so they’re keeping those properties safe.
