The Village of Clive is warning residents after receiving reports of door-to-door sales representatives from a solar power company operating without a hawker’s permit.
Village officials say vendors are required to carry a valid Hawker’s License issued by the municipality and provide photo identification upon request.
Residents are advised not to open the door if they feel unsafe and to maintain a barrier with a clear escape route.
Anyone approached by a salesperson without a valid business license is asked to report it to the village office during business hours.
Residents have the right to ask to see both a license and ID and are urged not to engage if the salesperson cannot provide them.
Suspicious or fraudulent activity should be reported immediately to Blackfalds RCMP at 310-RCMP
