Ottawa, Canada (CNN) — Calling the border with the United States a clear point of "vulnerability" for Canada in terms of Covid-19 infections, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday that by mutual agreement, the border will remain closed to nonessential travel until at least June 21.
Trudeau did not rule out a further extension of the border closure. The US-Canada border has been closed since March 21.
"It was the right thing to further extend by 30 days our closure of the Canada, US border to travelers other than essential services and goods, but we will continue to watch carefully what's happening elsewhere in the world and around us as we make decisions on next steps," Trudeau said during his daily press conference in Ottawa.
Therefore US pilots will not be able to travel to the 2020 Canadian Nationals if it is held at the end of the month.

We are going to cancel the competition, so there will be no meet director. We decided a few weeks ago that if the border didn’t open up, we would not hold the competition because there would be very little participation without the US pilots.
They may postpone it until August or September. It appears that the Prime Minister will have a lot to say about that.

We are changing the Canadian Nationals dates to from August 30th to September 5th with option of September 6th if we do not have five valid days. Still held in BC Canada (Kamloops area).
