City_of_Timmins-logoCity staff have been receiving calls from residents regarding door-to-door sales, and wish to advise the public that the businesses have no affiliation with the Corporation of the City of Timmins.

These businesses are required to provide liability insurance to the Corporation, proving business legitimacy, and purchase a business license in order to operate within City limits. Sales agents are also required to provide identification and clear criminal background checks when purchasing the license.

Some residents have advised that sales agents are claiming to be affiliated with the City when presenting their identification. We wish to advise residents that any documentation provided with the City of Timmins logo or name is the business license, and does not serve to endorse the company or its representatives.

It is the consumer’s right whether or not to allow these sales agents into their homes.
