Self_propelled Posted June 7, 2002 Author Posted June 7, 2002 They are celebrating the anniversary of the Peace Arch. I know you'll want to be there Dru, nothing better to do on a summer Sunday afternoon than celebrate the construction of a Gate. Quote
Dru Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 Maybe they will rename it Peace Pipe and have a giant bowl on the Canadian side and mouth piece on the American side? Quote
Self_propelled Posted June 7, 2002 Author Posted June 7, 2002 I-5 to close at border on Sunday By Seattle Times staff If you're headed to Canada, expect long waits at the border Sunday. From noon to 4 p.m., Interstate 5 will be closed at the Peach Arch crossing for Hands Across the Border, an event involving thousands of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts from the United States and Canada. Ceremonies will celebrate the 81st anniversary of the Peace Arch. The closure, an annual event, will detour traffic through the nearby truck crossing, Highway 543, said Roger Steinert of the state Department of Transportation (DOT). He said the state decided to stop traffic on I-5 because of safety concerns. "So many kids take part in this the (road) practically closes itself and isn't safe," he said. The DOT will erect detour signs. Northbound I-5 will be closed between Highway 543 and Peach Arch Park, and on the other side of the border, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation will close the highway's southbound lanes. Hands Across the Border is held the second Sunday of each June and is expected to draw more than 17,000 people. Quote

Self_propelled Posted June 8, 2002 Author Posted June 8, 2002 Anyone headed to Squamish and points north should be aware the Peace Arch crossing will be closed for four hours on Sunday afternoon. This will likely create larger than usual lines at Truck and Sumas crossings. Quote
