Avens begins offering free notary public service for seniors
Yellowknife seniors’ group Avens says it now offers free notary public services in English and French for seniors.
Walk-in service is available from 10am till 3pm on weekdays. Non-seniors will be encouraged to donate to Avens, which operates a range of seniors’ facilities, in lieu of payment.
Avens chief executive Daryl Dolynny and finance director Sara Fullerton will offer notary public services. Dolynny said doing so would remove “barriers of access and affordability.”
