After over 40 years in the community, Williams Lake’s ICBC Claims Centre will be closing its doors by the end of the month.
ICBC says it has decided not to renew the Claims Centre’s building lease agreement on Broadway Avenue. Saying it had too few customers going in-person to use the services, and most claims reports in the area have been submitted online, by phone, or by working directly with auto repair shops.
ICBC says there will be no loss of jobs or reduction of staff, and the Claims Centre will be moving to a new office space in the community, but it will not be open to the public.
