www.ontario.caRecent coverage on ServiceOntario has focused on two main themes: location closures/replacements and the province’s retail-partner rollout. A February 2026 report said residents in London were upset about a ServiceOntario closure, while noting the province said five centers would still serve the area, including some with evening and Saturday hours.[3]
Other recent reporting points to continued moves into retail locations. In 2024, Ontario expanded ServiceOntario into Staples stores, and later reports said the government was considering more retail hosts beyond Staples.[1][4]
There’s also been ongoing attention to fraud and scam warnings. ServiceOntario posted a reminder in August 2025 that it will never ask for payment by email, text, or phone, and never request banking info or threaten police/collections.[2]
If you want, I can narrow this to one of three angles: closures, retail expansions, or scams and service alerts.
