The Ontario government has partnered with some Staples retail locations that make it easier and more convenient for families and businesses to access vital government services such as driver’s licences and health cards.
Beginning in early 2024, Service Ontario is opening new centres in select Staples Canada stores with additional locations expected to open throughout the year.
Service Ontario location: 59 million transactions annually.
Examples of the new reach out in providing services:
The Township of Pickle Lake partnership provides a Service Ontario and municipal services hub for local residents as well as those travelling from communities further north.
For eligible residents who may find it difficult to visit Service Ontario to renew their health card, a live virtual appointment offers the same level of service as the in-person experience, right from the comfort of home.
To help meet increasing demand, eight of the busiest Service Ontario centres in the Greater Toronto Area now offer health card services for work permit holders and their accompanying family.
In partnership with Service Ontario, North Shore Tribal Council reaches several communities in the Robinson-Huron Treaty area with its mobile service unit, in addition to the Service Ontario centre operating in Cutler.
Service Ontario completes 59 million transactions annually, connecting people, families, and businesses with government services in person, online and by phone.
