Traffic is moving again on the Ambassador Bridge after it was closed for much of Saturday.

Windsor Police said they were on the scene for what they called an “active investigation,” which closed the bridge to incoming traffic to Canada. Traffic to the United States was not affected.

Late Saturday the following statement was released:

PSAC and the Customs and Immigration Union are aware of the tragic incident that took place earlier November 9 in Windsor, where a border officer took their life at work. We wish to express our most sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased — our thoughts are with all who are affected by these difficult circumstances.

Incidents such as this one bring to light the challenges public safety personnel may be confronted with throughout their career, and they remind us of the need for a comprehensive mental health support structure and of the importance of taking down barriers to access these services, both in professional and private settings. These tragedies also serve as a reminder of the value of supporting each other in the face of hardship. The death of a member is difficult for all, and we recognize the impact this sad event has on our community — should any member require support, please contact the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at 1.877.367.0809 (TTY: 1.877.338.0275) for confidential assistance.

Out of respect for the deceased and their family, the union will not be commenting further at this time.
