Is NEXUS going to start accepting applications now that the US-Canada border is open?

On August 9th 2021, Canada reopened the US land border for "non-essential purposes". However the official NEXUS page still says applications are closed:

NEXUS and FAST enrollment centres remain temporarily closed as long as COVID-19 border restrictions are in place.

Have there been any news or press releases on this subject, now that border restrictions are winding down? If NEXUS reopens soon, I'll hold off on applying for a Global Entry card and get the NEXUS instead. If it doesn't any time soon, I'll just pay for a Global Entry application.

For what it's worth, NEXUS enrollment centers in the United States are now scheduling appointments for interviews beginning November 29, 2021. Locations in Canada are still closed for appointments at this time.

At this point it isn't as busy as I thought it might be, perhaps because of the lack of publicity. They've been scheduling appointments for the first 3 months for a few weeks now and, while some locations are fully scheduled, others still have February, and even January, slots available.
