&/#3&'r#3*&'4 CANADA REVENUE AGENCY SCAM PERSISTS The OPP is cautioning citizens against a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) scam that persists in the region. Suspects call residents advising that if they do not pay owed money they can be arrested. This summer a Limoges area woman was contacted by a “CRA officer” advising there were four allegations and that she would be brought to court. The complainant then received a call from what she believed to be the OPP’s local number. Suspects posed as a police officer demanding her SIN number. The OPP confirms that they would not make such calls and advises residents to not give out personal information. 150 AVERTISSEURS DE FUMÉE À C-R Le Service des incendies de Clarence-Rockland a reçu 150 avertisseurs de fumée et de monoxyde de carbone combinés dans le cadre du projet Zéro : une campagne d’information du public qui fournit plus de 6600 détecteurs aux résidents de 30 municipalités de l’Ontario.

More than half a dozen small-scale “green energy” projects may not be going ahead as planned in Alfred- Plantagenet Township because of a mass cancellation of alternate energy contracts by the new Progressive Conservative government. The lights went out for 758 renewable energy projects in Ontario when Greg Rick- GPSE UIFOFX.JOJTUFSPG&OFSHZ /PSUIFSO Development and Mines, announced July 13 that the Progressive Conservative govern- ment was cancelling their contracts. The decision follows up on an election campaign promise of Doug Ford, Ontario’s new premier, to reduce Hydro rates by 12 per cent through a variety of cost-cutting measures. All of the projects listed in the mass- cancellation of contracts had not yet reached their “project development milestones” according to the government news release. Both Rickford and Ford have claimed the can- celled contracts represent $790 million in combined savings for all Ontario ratepayers on their electricity costs. Rickford also stated that the government will introduce legislation to protect ratepayers from the costs of any legal fallout from the contract cancellations.
