Photo by Ted Brown Minister opens new licensing office By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer Georgetown has a new ServiceOntario centre where area residents can renew their driver's licence and vehicle registration. Minister of Government Services Harinder S. Takhar, who was on hand Friday for the opening of the centre at 324 Guelph St., said it will offer area residents integrated services under one roof when routine health card services are added in late fall. Takhar said by the end of the year 95 per cent of Ontario residents will be within 10 km of an integrated ServiceOntario centre. "Ontarians will benefit from a onestop shopping experience for most health card and driver's licence services at all of our ServiceOntario centres by the end of this year," said Takhar. The new office is run by Georgetown residents Lori and Alex Soler and Alex's father Manuel Soler. Also there for the opening were Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Ted Arnott and Councillor Jon Hurst, filling in for Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette. Located at: 1857 Queen Street W.
