      Every year
      since 1944, Numeris has contacted Canadians to collect broadcast measurement
      information such as radio listening and TV viewing. By providing important
      audience and consumer behaviour information and intelligence, we enable
      Canadian broadcasters to deliver relevant, high-quality programming that meets
      the needs and wants of Canadians. Your household was randomly selected to
      participate, and our telephone calling system attempted to reach you to provide
      information about what we do and to conduct a brief survey.

      We do apologize
      for any inconvenience as a result of our attempt to include your household in
      our survey.  

      We can confirm
      and reassure you that your telephone number ***** ******** was removed from our
      survey calling and added to our Do Not Call List on June 26, 2025.

      While not
      legally required, Numeris maintains an internal Do Not Call list. We retain
      phone numbers on this list for five years to account for potential phone number
      recycling and changing circumstances over time. This ensures that your phone
      number remains excluded from our contact lists during this period. For more

      This business calls over and over after being asked to never call me again. I have a family member that is on palliative care and I have enough on my plate without these people calling multiple times after being told to leave me alone. They have no respect for personal boundaries. I have had to have my telephone provider block them so I can have peace while my loved one dies.

      This company has called me multiple times, when I answer they hang up. I've called their 800 number to be taken off their call list, but you can NEVER get through to anyone. You sit on hold for 10min then their system hangs up on you. They claim to be exempt from being added to the national Do Not Call list and that you can go to their website to be removed, yet there is NO option on their website to be added to their own Do Not Call list. The fact I have to contact the BBB, just to get them to stop calling is utterly ridiculous. MY next complaint will be with the CRTC to have this company shut down. *** **** ********** *** NO ONE...should have to deal with this ** on a daily basis.

      Every year since 1944, Numeris has contacted Canadians
      to collect broadcast measurement information such as radio listening and TV
      viewing. By providing important audience and consumer behaviour information and
      intelligence, we enable Canadian broadcasters to deliver relevant, high-quality
      programming that meets the needs and wants of Canadians. Your household was
      randomly selected to participate, and our telephone calling system attempted to
      reach you to provide information about what we do and to conduct a brief
      survey.

      As a market
      research firm, we are not part of the National Do Not Call List. Numeris
      however, maintains its own internal Do Not Call List for 36 months,
      although this is not a requirement made of us by law. After the three years
      have passed, your telephone number may begin to be included in future surveys.
      You can continue to opt out by contacting us closer to that time.

      Please note that we do not have any calling history
      for the telephone number that was provided **************, however we have
      added it to our Do Not Call list (reference # *******). If the telephone number
      that you would like added to our Do Not Call list is different than the one
      that was provided to us, please contact Numeris or myself directly with that
      information. We can add that telephone number to our DNC list and immediately
      remove it from our calling system.

      survey was not a positive experience.
