Passport office opening delayed due to strike

PRINCE GEORGE — The long awaited passport office for Prince George and Northern BC was slated to open today but there will be no passport applications being processed today, as the opening of the office was postponed indefinitely, meaning Northerners hoping to get a passport will have wait a little while longer.

Taylor Bachrach, MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley was a champion for the opening of a passport office in north.

It’s unfortunate to hear that the opening date has had to be moved because of the labour action that’s taking place. I know folks who are really looking forward to having a passport office up and running in the North. I know that’s going to happen at some point here and certainly look forward to that date. – Taylor Bachrach, MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley (NDP)
