CHIEF MOUNTAIN – It’s another sign of fall.

Saturday, Sept. 30 is the final day of the season to enter Canada at the Chief Mountain Border Crossing.

It closes at 6 p.m. and won’t reopen until May.

The Canada Border Services Agency said Chief Mountain saw traffic of 25,000 vehicles carrying 68,000 travellers between May and August this year.

At one point during September its closure was forced by the Kenow wildfire.
