PASSPORT CLINIC & OPEN HOUSE IN PORTAGE
As your Member of Parliament, one of my top priorities is to remain accessible and assist you in navigating the services offered by the Government of Canada. That's why I'm excited to announce that I'm hosting a Passport Clinic and Open House in Portage la Prairie:
​
Saturday, February 22nd
Passport Clinic: 10AM - 3PM
Open House: 3PM - 5PM
Prairie Fusion Arts & Entertainment (11 2nd St NE)
​
If you're applying for your first passport or need assistance with a renewal, this clinic is a great opportunity for you. We’ll have a photographer available (for a fee), and my team will review your application and mail it in on your behalf, making the process as easy and convenient as possible.
​
Please take a moment to review the checklist below which outlines all the necessary instructions, how to pay for your passport photo, and the accepted forms of payment for your passport application.
​
Passport Applicants MUST:
(1) Be a resident of Portage-Lisgar
(2) Book a timeslot by calling my office at 1-204-325-1540 or emailing Branden.Leslie@parl.gc.ca.
(3) Read and comply with all information on the passport checklist below.
​
And if you don’t need passport assistance, no worries! I’ll be hosting an Open House immediately after the clinic, from 3 PM to 5 PM, at the same location. Feel free to stop by for a coffee and chat about anything that’s on your mind.​
