March 2 eNews

Dear friends and neighbours,

Dear friends and neighbours,
 

On Tuesday, February 22, 2022, the Ontario Government announced the elimination of licence plate renewal fees and stickers and as a result would be issuing a refund to eligible vehicle owners. Unfortunately, this initiative has been exploited by scammers who have been sending text messages notifying individuals that they can receive their $120 by clicking on a link/url. Local police authorities have been made aware of the scam and have issued a warning. I would like to kindly remind all residents that government agencies do not contact the public or send refunds in the form of text messages and to steer clear of this fraudulent scam attempt. As mentioned in my previous eNews the Ontario Government will be issuing refunds in the form of cheques which will be mailed starting March and throughout the month of April.

Sincerely,
Frances
