Canadian Diabetes Association Advises Public To Be On Alert For Phoney Canvassers (Toronto)
TORONTO, ONTARIO – The Canadian Diabetes Association is warning Toronto area residents, particularly those in the Don Mills area (between York Mills and Lawrence), to be cautious of a door-to-door canvasser who claims to be representing the charitable organization.
The Association recently received two reports that a middle-aged woman, who was not wearing official volunteer identification, was canvassing residents for donations for a walk-a-thon on behalf of the Canadian Diabetes Association.
“The Canadian Diabetes Association completed our door-to-door campaign in Ontario at the end of November,” says Andrea Strath, Regional Director, GTA and Central East Ontario, Canadian Diabetes Association. “The Association recommends that residents report any suspicious canvassers immediately by contacting the police at (416) 808-2222.”
Residents who do wish to donate to the Canadian Diabetes Association can visit diabetes.ca or call 1-800-BANTING (226-8464).
