The outreach mission, held at the Coast Lethbridge Hotel, was organized in cooperation with the Filipino-Canadian Association of Lethbridge headed by its President, Ms. Linda Helwig.

 

During the two-day outreach, the Consulate was able to render 132 consular services comprised of 123 passport applications, seven notarial services and two civil registrations.
