Black Friday shoppers should plan ahead, border officials say

Border officials are gearing up for a flood of Saskatchewan shoppers returning from Black Friday shopping sprees.

The annual event, held tomorrow, sees people from across the Prairies heading down to Minot and other cities in search of bargains.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) was reminding travellers to plan ahead this weekend to avoid possible delays at ports of entry when they come back.

During peak hours, all primary inspection lanes will be open and the North Portal port of entry in Saskatchewan will be operating at maximum capacity, CBSA says.

Wait times fluctuate so people should give themselves plenty of time. They should also prepare for border inspections by having proper documents ready.
