Impacted services include Fair Entry, Low Income and Low Income Senior transit passes, Cashier Services, Taxation, and Planning and Development.
Fair Entry will temporarily be located on the third floor of the Central Library, with services available from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

They can finally be bought in the Centre Street, Bow Valley and Village Square Leisure Centre locations with photo ID.
