Service Ontario Changes

The provincial government says it will be establishing 10 Service Ontario centers in the Kenora and Rainy River Districts in the next year.

The government announced the re-organization earlier this summer and says under the initiative, you will be able to apply for a new health card,a drivers licence, and hunting and fishing permits out of one office.

In Kenora, the Service Ontario office will be located on Robertson Street.

As a result of the changes however, the Licensing and Vehicle Registration Office, which is located in Keewatin is being closed this fall.

A spokesperson for that office says their last day in business will be October 13th.
