Sarnia ServiceOntario centre opening at new location Feb 2

Sarnia's ServiceOntario centre at 150 Christina Street North, at the Bayside Mall, is on the move.

Ontario's Ministry of Government and Consumer Services says the new location, at 700 Christina Street North, Unit 102, is less than 3 kilometres away from the current location and offers free parking and many accessible features.

The new location at the Sarnia courthouse will open at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 2, and the current location will permanently close at noon Friday, January 29.

Residents are asked to visit the centre in Petrolia, at 4178 Petrolia Line, if they require services Friday afternoon or Monday.

Once opened, the new Sarnia ServiceOntario centre will operate Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Residents are still urged to stay home and renew licence plate stickers and driver’s licences online due to the risks associated with COVID-19.

Vehicle registration and health card renewals can also be done online 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and will be mailed directly to you.
