SURREY (NEWS1130) - If you're planning on doing some cross-border shopping this weekend, you might want to avoid the Peace Arch border crossing.
Thousands of Girl Guides, Boy Scouts and Cadets will be gathering for their annual Hands Across the Border celebration. It's the 88th time they'll gather at the crossing, waving banners, carrying flags, and making new friends.
Sue Head with the International Peace Arch Association says they're expecting between 8,000 to 10,000 people to turn out to re-dedicate the park. At 1 p.m., there will be a parade led by the RCMP and the Washington State Police.
Head adds the southbound lane will be closed at 11:30 a.m. while the northbound lane shuts down at noon. The crossing will re-open to traffic at about 3:30 p.m.
