Gravelle announces opening of Integrated ServiceOntario Centre

November 29, 2010

“The people of Longlac expect their government to spend their tax dollars wisely, and to provide better access to these kinds of services. That is why we are consolidating ServiceOntario locations and integrating services—to make things faster and easier for people to get the government services they need.” Michael Gravelle, MPP Thunder Bay-Superior North

As of November 29, Longlac residents have a newly integrated ServiceOntario centre and can access health card and driver and vehicle services under one roof. Routine health card services are now available at the ServiceOntario centre at 250 Picnic Point Road in Longlac. Driver and vehicle licensing services are already offered at this location.

Integrated services are also available in:

Thunder Bay at 1020 Dawson Road
Marathon at 52 Peninsula Road
Nipigon at 5 Wadsworth Drive
Geraldton at 208 Beamish Avenue West
Beardmore at 203 Main Street
Schreiber at 804 Winnipeg Street
Terrace Bay at 1004 Highway 17, Main Floor

These changes will give people access to more routine government services and better meet customer needs.
