RENFREW COUNTY — Based on the advice of Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, all full-time DriveTest Centres and part-time Travel Point locations will be closed.
“The closures will take effect March 23, 2020 until further notice,” said Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. She made the announcement with Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation on Sunday.
“The decision to close was the result of a mutual agreement between the government and service provider,” said Elliott. “Ontarians can rest assured they will not lose their current driver’s licences due to this decision and no driver’s licence applicants will lose test fees as a result of the closures.”
She said the current “Fail to Keep Appointment” penalty fee will also be waived, as the government has a responsibility to Ontarians to ensure that every possible step is taken to enable social distancing and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
