The Service Ontario outlet in Hawkesbury is not going anywhere.
On January 29, Ontario Minister of Public and Business Services Delivery Todd McCarthy announced a three-year pilot project where Service Ontario counters will operate in nine Staples office supply stores. Service Ontario provides driver’s licence renewal, vehicle registration, health insurance card, and other government document services.
Even though Hawkesbury has a Staples store, the Service Ontario outlet in Hawkesbury at 179 Main Street will remain where it is. The new Service Ontario outlets in Staples stores are all in the Toronto area and in Southern Ontario.
Most Service Ontario outlets are privately operated under contract with the Ontario government, but some are operated by the province or municipalities.
