Tips for the public in dealing with canvassers

North Bay Police say they have received a call about a young woman going to a residence on Dane Avenue.

Police say the woman knocked on a door at 8:15 at night and was looking for donations for ”violence against women”.

Police say the woman did not have identification and did not identify the name of the organization she was representing.

City Police say you should ask canvassers to identify themselves and the organization they represent before giving donations.

Police say call 911 if you notice any suspicious activity where people or property may be at risk, a crime is in progress or could occur or where a serious injury could happen.
