Wellington North Calls For Ban on Certain Door-to-Door Sales

Wellington North is asking other municipalities to join in urging the Province to ban door-to-door sales of home service products such as water heaters, furnaces and air conditioners.

In 2015, the Province banned door-to-door sales for electrical and natural gas contracts.

Burke says she knows of several people who were ripped off for thousands of dollars.
