| As the holiday break approaches, HDPBC user support services will operate with limited coverage between December 22nd to January 2nd. During this time, response times will be slower than usual. Please refer to the HDPBC resources available before and during the slowdown period. Check our FAQs and self-help resources, which are accessible through the HDPBC website.
