The Port of Climax is the border crossing from the United States into the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The Port is a short drive from Shaunavon. It is paired with the US customs and immigration port of Turner, Montana.
The border crossing facility is shared by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency.[1] It lies on the 49th parallel.[1] The Canadian side is called "Port of Climax", and on the American side is the "Port of Turner"; the latter was built by Customs and Border Protection in 1992.[1]
The city of Havre is only a short drive from the Port. Saskatchewan Highway 37 offers a north-south route to connect with Trans Canada Highway Route 1 at Gull Lake. The RED Coat Trail Highway 13 at Shaunavon commemorates the role of the North-West Mounted Police in settling the Canadian West.
Some local residents have begun efforts to make this crossing a 24-hour facility, in hopes of attracting commercial traffic.[1]
