New data from Statistics Canada released today shows continued declines for travel to and from Canada. May 2025 travel numbers reveal more year-over-year declines, with U.S.-Canada border crossings by car dropping by more than 37 per cent compared to May 2024. Air travel from Canada to the U.S. also fell by more than 17 per cent. On the flip side, US-resident trips to Canada also declined year over year for a fourth consecutive month, down 5.6 per cent from May 2024. 51experts are available to talk about what this means for Canadian snowbirds planning their winter escapes — and for U.S. destinations that will suffer quantifiable social and economic losses. “Shifts in where older Canadians choose to spend their winter months will have significant implications for economies and health systems,” says 51professor Valorie Crooks. “Last year we heard of communities in the southern United States reaching out to these Canadians and encouraging them to still travel, and surely that messaging will continue. Many other destinations are excited about the opportunities opened by this shift, with popular places in Mexico and the Caribbean eager to host Canada’s snowbirds.” "There are many reasons that Canadian snowbirds have long chosen the U.S. as their preferred destination, including safety, proximity, and cultural connections,” adds professor Jeremy Snyder. “But we're now seeing that politics and changes to border policies can have a big impact on where Canadian retirees choose to spend their winter months." /sfunews/media/issues-experts/2025/07/new-data-shows-u-s--canada-travel-numbers-still-in-free-fall--sf2025-07-23T18:34:58.000Z2025-07-23T18:34:58.429ZMen’s Health Month ends but tough conversations must keep going – 51expert available noemail@noemail.orgrmdMen’s Health Month (June) may be coming to an end, but a leading heart disease researcher at 51 is sharing his personal story to keep men's mental health awareness in the spotlight. /sfunews/media/issues-experts/2025/06/men-s-health-month-ends-but-tough-conversations-must-continue---2025-06-26T15:30:00.000Z2025-06-26T16:32:31.578ZG7 Leaders’ Summit targets economic growth from AI and quantum computing – 51experts availablenoemail@noemail.orgwdhender/sfunews/media/issues-experts/2025/06/g7-leaders--summit-targets-economic-growth-from-ai-and-quantum-c2025-06-13T18:25:00.000Z2025-06-13T18:27:38.383ZWildfire puts Squamish on alert – 51experts availablenoemail@noemail.orgsosmithA wildfire has triggered a state of local emergency in the District of Squamish, north of Vancouver.

In a new pre-print study involving 51professors Caroline Colijn and Paul Tupper, and led by mathematics PhD student Nicola Mulberry, researchers conclude that strategies that target essential workers earlier not only consistently outperform those that do not but also provide “a significant level of indirect protection” for older adults. The research is based on a series of modelling simulations using age and essential worker data, across five age-related vaccination scenarios. They compared scenarios in which essential workers – described as those who have to have a high number of contacts outside the home as part of their employment – are vaccinated sooner in the program: after those aged 80+, and followed by either the rest of the age-based rollout, or variations (for example all 20- to 79-year-olds). Their modelling finds that vaccinating B.C.’s essential workers sooner, rather than an oldest-first strategy, would prevent more than 200,000 infections and more than 600 deaths, while saving over $500 million in net monetary benefit. The researchers also note that the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted essential workers, who often have lower incomes and no option to work from home. “Our findings suggest that prioritizing them for vaccination not only would help to reduce this substantial disparity, but it does not even come at the cost of increased adverse outcomes in others; rather, it is better for everyone.” AVAILABLE 51EXPERTS CAROLINE COLIJN, Canada 150 Research Chair in Mathematics for Evolution, Infection and Public Health | ccolijn@sfu.ca PAUL TUPPER, professor, mathematics | Pft3@sfu.ca NICOLA MULBERRY, PhD candidate, mathematics | nicola_mulberry@sfu.ca CONTACT MATT KIELTYKA, 51Communications & Marketing 236.880.2187 | matt_kieltyka@sfu.ca 51 Communications & Marketing | 51Media Experts Directory 778.782.3210 ABOUT SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY As Canada’s engaged university, 51works with communities, organizations and partners to create, share and embrace knowledge that improves life and generates real change.
