Larry Maguire, Member of Parliament for Brandon-Souris will hold a passport clinic on Saturday, April 22nd from 10AM to 2PM at the Baldur Memorial Hall located at 142 First Street.


Staff will be available to assist local residents in either renewing or becoming a first-time passport holder.  A photographer will be available to take passport photos and MP Maguire’s office will mail the passport applications directly to Passport Canada.


Maguire said, “I truly believe in improving constituent services for the people of Westman.  I also want to make it as easy as possible for residents to access the services of the Government of Canada and be available to speak to any of your concerns.”


Since elected, Maguire has held numerous passport clinics across Westman and has assisted hundreds of constituents renew or become a first-time passport holder.  Maguire understands that driving into Brandon or Winnipeg is not always an option for those who seek help with their passport paperwork and is pleased to give folks in the Baldur area the opportunity to have this service brought to them.
