We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new driver licensing office in West Kelowna! 🎉 Jason McDaniel (he/him), our Vice President of Operations, attended the West Kelowna City Hall grand opening and shared some exciting details about this expansion. Starting Monday, July 15th at 8:30 a.m., you can visit us on the second floor of the new City Hall building to renew your driver’s licence and I.D., take your knowledge test, and complete Class 4, 5, and 7 road tests.
