The Pas and District Chamber of Commerce has called on Dr Brent Roussin and the province of Manitoba to ease interprovincial travel restrictions to Northern Manitoba.

A letter sent to Dr Roussin stated that travel restrictions are continuing to have a negative effect on tourism in the North adding that visitors from other provinces contribute to the local economy.

The owner of one lodge says he hopes the government has learned from the past year and understand that we are capable of staying safe and keeping tourism alive in the province.
