ServiceOntario Centres to Expand

Starting this fall, Ontario health cards,driver's licenses and vehicle registration services will all befound under one roof.

ServiceOntario centres across the province will spend the next 18months expanding to offer integrated services.

Minister of Government Services Harinder Takhar says integrated centres will make things faster, friendlier and easier for residents.

The announcement means health cards, which were available from only 27 OHIP offices, can now be picked up from 300 locations.

Health card services in rural communities will grow from only two to more than 160 centres, while northern communities will see an expansion from six to 67 integrated offices.

There are only two ServiceOntario centres which offer integrated services at present.
