If you have some passport needs to address, Sudbury MP Viviane Lapointe is hosting a free passport clinic on April 13.
“This clinic will offer public guidance on passport applications, a secure courier service to Passport Canada, and a 20-business day processing time, plus mail time,” a release from Lapointe’s office states.
Photo services will not be available on site, so those attending will need to get an official passport photo ahead of time. You can download passport application forms here.
The event is Saturday, April 13 fom 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the New Sudbury Public Library, 1346 Lasalle Blvd. First come, first served.
Please 705-673-7107 for all inquiries.
