Received an Automated Call with the Display 'TellCityHall'? It's not from the City of Burlington

If you've received an automated phone call recently where the call display read "Tell City Hall" and it was regarding a survey on the carbon tax, it didn't come from Burlington City Hall.My office was alerted to this earlier this month and my team investigated things further.TellCityHall is a market research company based out of Edmonton, Alta., that does surveys for the private and public sector. The company has a few surveys it is putting out to the public, including ones on the carbon tax and cannabis."Random digit dialing" is done for their surveys. Its website also mentions it they serve governments and non-profits.MY TAKE:It is important the public is always informed, particularly when it comes to digital/phone surveys. That is why I wanted to spread the word and awareness about this particular survey once I received notice about it from a local resident. If you have or someone you know has received a similar call from TellCityHall, please note it is not from your elected officials or staff here at City of Burlington. And you can help spread the word to others so that they become aware as well. Thank you.
