CORNWALL, Ont. - Wednesday is the deadline the Ontario government set for licence extensions because of the DriveTest strike last year.

People who needed to take driving tests to requalify for their licences were stuck when examiners walked off the job.

The examiners went back to work in early January but motorists were given until September 1st to book a test.

The Ministry of Transportation says there are about 51,000 licences provincewide that still need to be renewed.

While drivers didn't receive any notices in the mail about the deadline, the ministry says the information was posted on both the MTO and DriveTest websites.
