In co\u002Dordination with the Beaver Creek Community Club, the local White River First Nation planned a five\u002Dhour trip to Whitehorse and collected shopping lists from residents, prohibiting only cigarettes and alcohol

“They have a grocery store there, a restaurant, a hardware store, a lumber yard. So, it’s very convenient for us,” she said.

Like other border towns forced to respond to a rapidly changing world, residents have rallied around one another with generosity and co-operation. Rivers and lakes are frozen and snow is covering the landscape. The Alaska Highway is open and clear. Stewart Mayor Gina McKay said residents of Hyder don’t even have a gas station and are allowed to cross into Stewart once a week for essentials like groceries.“We really do see ourselves as one big community and I think actually this situation we’re all in right now with COVID has actually made us stronger because we’re doing everything we can to help them, whether that be bringing fuel to the border, groceries to the border, any essentials they need,” McKay said.

Since then, she said residents on both sides of the border have formed a Stewart-Hyder COVID Action Committee petitioning both countries to allow locals to freely roam between the two communities.
