Yes, Canal Road connects N & S Pender Islands with the bridge over Pender Canal, but you asked about a road from Pender Harbo(u)r.
Just some fun at your expense.

There is no road to Port Browning from Pender Harbour.

Maybe they drive from South Pender Island.

I had dinner in Bidwell. I stopped in to the customs office and asked what the current Nexus protocol was. They said it was now back to pre Covid standards. They also mentioned that the staff answering the phones are often new and unfamiliar with Nexus as the protocol has just been reinstated.

I was advised that if I am directed to dock before calling in that I should politely remind them that the standard Nexus protocol is to announce my arrival time and location in order to receive a clearance code.

How was the dinner at Bedwell? I am around the corner and have yet to give it a go. Was it at the pub or?

As rumored then.
If you get to Port Browning, the pub is good pub food, finer dining can be had at Joe's Place a short walk to the shopping center.

Joe’s and the Pub at Port Browning are closed on Tuesday. This is how we ended up in Bidwell.

This is good news. Looks like things are returning to normal. Good to hear.
