City council has proclaimed February as Heart month in the City of Cornwall following a request from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Council passed the proclamation at a recent meeting and Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy met with officials from the local Heart and Stroke Foundation office on February 2 to raise its flag at the Justice building next to City Hall. Every February, the Heart and Stroke Foundation celebrates Heart Month by holding a number of events, including its canvassing campaign. More than 100,000 Canadians give their time to canvass local neighbourhoods to help further the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s mission of preventing disease, saving lives and promoting recovery. Pictured raising the flag are City employee Terri Lafrance, Heart and Stroke Area coordinator Ashley Manwell, mayor O’Shaughnessy, Heart and Stroke Area administrator Valerie Rowe and Heart and Stroke volunteer Robert Wolak.

Credit card scam in circulation No one likes having to pay interest on their credit card bills, and con artists are banking on that to make a very simple telephone scam work in the Eastern Ontario region. Police recently issued a warning about credit card scam now circulating in the area. Homeowners get a phone call from someone offering to help them lower the interest rates on their credit cards. The con artist asks if the homeowner has a Visa or Mastercard and then asks for the credit card number “to apply the lower interest rate”. So far, police have reported no one who called them to lodge a complaint have fallen for the scam. They just hung up the phone and then called police. – Gregg Chamberlain

Furnace inspection scam With winter still settled in for a few more weeks, there is a seasonal scam making the rounds of communities. The CSA Group, which provides product testing and certification services and sets standards for Canada on household products and other items, has issued a warning of a door-to-door “furnace inspector” scam.The con artist claims to represent the CSA Group and asks to do an inspection of the home furnace. Anyone approached at their home by someone claiming to be a CSA official should refuse that person entry, call the police, and also notify the CSA Group’s Anti-Counterfeiting unit at Crush.Counterfeiting@csagroup.org. – Gregg Chamberlain
