Point Roberts families fight for students to cross Canadian border for school and activities

It is not a normal back-to-school cycle, especially given the abnormal circumstances that already exist in Point Roberts, Washington.

About 1,300 people live in Point Roberts, a small town just below the 49th parallel. It is surrounded by water on three sides and shares its northern border with Canada, but the town is actually part of Whatcom County.

For many youth living in Point Roberts, school is in Canada, while home is in America. The border between them closed in March and won't reopen until at least Sept. 22. https://www.king5.com/article/news/community/stand-for-truth/canadian-border-closure-complicates-school-and-athletics-for-students-in-point-roberts/281-177eb8ae-c185-4f09-b0f7-e9505613bd1d
