flag Canada's Supreme Court upheld Newfoundland's pandemic travel limits as constitutional on Feb. 13, 2026.

flag The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Newfoundland and Labrador’s 2020 pandemic travel restrictions, which limited non-resident entry to protect public health, were constitutionally valid despite infringing on mobility rights. flag The decision, issued on February 13, 2026, upheld the province’s emergency measures as reasonable and justified under the Charter, citing the unprecedented threat of COVID-19, strained healthcare resources, and the need to protect vulnerable populations. flag The case stemmed from a challenge by Nova Scotia resident Kimberley Taylor, who was initially denied entry to attend her mother’s funeral but later granted permission. flag The court affirmed that temporary, proportionate public health actions during crises can legally limit rights when necessary to save lives.
