Canadian Girl Guides cancel US travel ahead of ban
14 March 2017 US & Canada
Girl Guides of Canada has cancelled all trips to the United States until further notice because it fears problems at the border.
The announcement comes days before President Donald Trump's new US travel ban comes into effect on Thursday.
In a statement, the group said the "ability of all our members to equally enter this country is currently uncertain".
The suspension includes short trips and all travel through US airports.
The group has also scrapped a planned summer camping trip to California in favour of an alternate destination.
