Business As Usual At the Lindsay Licensing Office

In light of an announcement from Service Ontario to the Lindsay and District Chamber of Commerce and after over 40 years of service to the Government of Ontario, the Chamber has been advised that they will no longer be providing Driver’s and Vehicle Licensing Services as of November 30, 2010.

The government has stated that starting this fall across Ontario, residents will be able to make one trip for health card, driver's license and vehicle registration services. Over the next several months, Service Ontario will expand access to health card services from the current 27 OHIP offices to all 300 integrated Service Ontario Centers, making driver and vehicle licensing services also available at these centers.

Service Ontario claims these changes will give people access to more routine government services than before, especially in rural and northern communities. Close to 95 per cent of all Ontarians will be within 10 kilometers of an integrated Service Ontario centre. These changes will be implemented with the intention of being completed by December 2010.

For the next 15 months the Chamber of Commerce Licensing Office will continue to offer the excellent customer service it has always given for driver and vehicle licensing at 4 Victoria Avenue North in Lindsay. On the Chamber side, we will also continue to provide leadership, service and advocacy for businesses in our community for years to come, as this is the mandate of the Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce.

I would encourage you to drop by and experience the friendly service you have always received at the Chamber. If you would like to comment on this action, please feel free to call me at 324-2393 or send an email to gayle@lindsaychamber.com The Lindsay & District Chamber of Commerce is interested in any comments forwarded.
