ONE-STOP GOVERNMENT SERVICES OFFICE FOR MISSISSAUGA
Health Card Office Relocation to Westdale Mall First Step to Full-Service Centre
NEWS November 20, 2009
The opening of a Health Card Services office at Westdale Mall is the first step to a fully-integrated ServiceOntario centre offering a full range of services, Government Services Minister Harinder S. Takhar announced today.
Mississauga residents will be able to make one trip for health card, driver’s licence, vehicle registration and other government services once the ServiceOntario office is fully integrated next year. By the end of 2010, Mississauga will have five integrated ServiceOntario centres offering both health card and drivers licence services under one roof.
The Mississauga ServiceOntario centre at Westdale Mall currently offers all health card services and provides extended hours four evenings per week – Monday to Thursday until 7:00 p.m. with an appointment. The site is fully accessible and offers ample free parking close to the building.
The opening of the Mississauga office is another step in ServiceOntario’s plan to build a one-stop services network in which 95 per cent of Ontarians will be within 10 kilometres of a fully-integrated ServiceOntario centre.
