The border crossing is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency during the day and closed at night.[2] The border crossing consists of a customs building, residence and three storage buildings[3] Growing pressure exists on both the Canada and US side of the border to expand the border crossing to 24-hour operation,[4]
