In a normal year, between 300,000 and 375,000 Canadians would spend the winter in the United States or Mexico, but the pandemic makes that unlikely this year. The ban on non-essential travel for vehicles crossing the border has been renewed until Nov. 21, and may be extended after that.
Until that changes, many snowbirds are grounded at home.
