NEXUS Goes Overtime to Assist Hockey Fans at the Canadian Border

(NHL/Buffalo Sabres)

The Buffalo Sabres today announced a new partnership with the Peace Bridge Authority (PBA) to create more public awareness of the NEXUS program. To make this program more user friendly for hockey fans, the NEXUS lanes entering Canada have now had their hours extended by the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) following all Sabres home games, and will continue to do so during the 2011 World Junior Championship in Buffalo.

“An efficient, smooth flowing border is critical to the prosperity of the binational region and organizations like the Buffalo Sabres that add so much to the quality of life in this area,” said Anthony Annunziata, Chairman of the Peace Bridge Authority. “The CBSA is to be commended for their commitment to improve the functionality of the border, and to ensure that not only Sabres games but also major events like the World Junior Championship can be attended and enjoyed without the border being an impediment.” Read more here.
