This is what the border was like in Ontario on the first day of reopening

It's day one of two-way traffic at U.S.-Canada land border crossings. For the first time is nearly two years, Canadians can visit the U.S. for non-essential travel.

The Canada Border Services Agency said as the reopening came into effect at midnight, traffic was backed-up at southern Ontario crossings, but volumes decreased into the morning and remained quiet during the day.

Acting Director for Southern Ontario Michael Prosia said many of those initially crossing were people with RVs and snowbirds and Monday are generally on the slower side.

He expects volumes to pick up on the weekend when the Buffalo Bills play.

Monday afternoon CTV News Toronto observed few drivers and people crossing at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls.
