The woman was wearing a red name tag and carrying a clip board with forms from B.C. She also had a teenager with her who was riding a mountain bike.
The female is described as:
Early 20’s in age
5’3” thin build

The male is described as:
Approximately 15 years old

Both charities were contacted confirming that they are not fundraising at this time and have no scheduled canvassers at this time in Ingersoll.
Oxford County OPP is urging all homeowners to be very sceptical when someone arrives at your door soliciting for funds. Be informed and know your rights when someone arrives at the door of your residence.
