Town eyes ban of door-to-door sales Residents fed up with high-pressure door-to-door sales people may not have to deal with them much longer if the Town of Oakville gets its way. Oakville council voted recently to urge the provincial government to ban all door-todoor sales in the services sector, specifically the sale or lease of HVAC equipment, such as water heaters, water treatment and filtration systems, and other home energy products and services. The motion, brought forward by Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and Ward 6 Councillor Natalia Lishchyna, noted the Province has been working at improving protection for consumers in instances of door-to-door sales with the Stronger Protection for Ontario Consumers Act of 2013 and the Strengthening Consumer Protection and Electricity System Oversight Act of 2015. This year, a private members' bill introduced by Etobicoke Centre MPP Yvan Baker calls for a ban on the door-to-door sales of such home energy products. That bill has passed its first reading at Queen's Park. 5 | Thursday, July 7, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com It was noted at council that claim is backed up with misleaddespite existing provincial legisla- ing documents and fake identifition, Oakville residents continue cation. to experience unsolicited, aggresCouncil also wants Town staff www.insideHALTON.com sive and misleading sales tactics to issue news releases warning at the door from those seeking to residents and wants other GTA Spotlight 6 Sports sell home energy products. municipalities to join Oakville in The motion said sales people pressuring the Province.
