With the border closed to nonessential travel amid the global pandemic, families and couples across the continent have found themselves cut off from loved ones on the other side. But the recent reopening of Peace Arch Park, which spans from Blaine into Surrey, British Columbia, at the far western end of the 3,987-mile contiguous border, has given at least a few separated parents, siblings, lovers and friends a rare chance for some better-than-Skype visits.

In this image from video provided by WBFO, a Buffalo police officer appears to shove a man who walked up to police Thursday, June 4, 2020, in Buffalo, N.Y.

This July 2014 photo shows a cruise ship docked in Skagway, Alaska, as passengers tour the town. The Alaska port city, nearly entirely dependent upon cruise ship tourism, wants to share its federal coronavirus relief funds with workers in town. The city of Skagway posted an application on its website inviting residents to apply for up to $1,000 in relief funds to help with bills. Nearly half of Alaska’s 2.2 million tourists arrive on cruise ships, but most companies have canceled their summer seasons, leaving workers here without much relief. (AP Photo | Kathy Matheson)
