Although B.C. Day isn’t officially until Monday, border crossings between B.C. and Washington are continuing to see volume Sunday.

Wait times have fluctuated between stays of about 20 minutes to more than two hours for the days leading up to the holiday Monday, and Sunday is shaping up to be no different.

The Peach Arch crossing is showing wait times of about an hour and a half to two hours, as of Sunday at 3:20 p.m.

The Pacific Highway crossing is also showing wait times of an hour and a half to two hours.

Those looking for a shorter commute can head to Aldergrove, which has wait times of about 30 minutes.

The Sumas crossing is boasting the shortest waits out of the group, with drivers only being held up for about 5 to 10 minutes.
