Fundraiser for PrideFest!

It has been brought to our attention that someone is falsely claiming to be involved with Sarnia-Lambton PrideFest and requesting payment from a few of our current vendors (and a few individuals that are not on our email list).

Please be advised that vendors will ONLY receive official communication from:
[applications@q***rjoycanada.ca](mailto:applications@q***rjoycanada.ca)

If you receive messages from any other email address requesting payment or vendor information, do not respond and please report it to us directly.
