NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — An information session about the U.S. proposal requiring visitors to present passports upon entry to the country will be held here on Friday.

Frank Moss, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary Passport Services, Department of State, will be on-hand for the event and will be soliciting comments from stakeholders. The proposal is part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and would require Canadian citizens to carry a passport for entry into the U.S. FAST cards would likely also be deemed acceptable under the new rule.

The event will be held at 1 p.m., Oct. 28 at Grande Hall Ballroom at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls. It’s being presented by the CanAm Border Trade Alliance, the Niagara U.S.A. Chamber and the Niagara Falls Chamber of Commerce. For more information call 716-754-8824.
