Uh, the story about the scantly clad girls coming in and out of there, doesn't sound like a promising way of spending our donated money :p   Scantly clad probably means they're not burn victems.
I mean I could be using the money on that if it's what it sounds like :p hehe.

I got a call from a guy from that 'charity', he seemed pretty nice, i told him I'll look up the organization and maybe donate through their website after doing some research and he seemed pretty cool with that and surprisingly didn't pester me to make a donation NOW over the phone, like many places seem to do.

The person who said they never got a tax reciept was it a donation $20 or more? It mentions on their website they give it for $20 or more.
http://www.canadianburnfoundation.org/donate.php

They're registered on
http://www.canadahelps.org/CharityProfilePage.aspx?CharityID=s55200
And they claim to have a Registered Charity No. 874222540RR0001  
And Publish their address, so that seems like they could be legit. Not sure where to verify this charity # though.
I'm not finding them on any other charity ranking / rating site, so yeah I might not donate to them, due to others comments here, money might be better utilized somewhere else.

I donated to this organization - Canadian Burn Fundation - as a result of a marketing call.  Subsequently I received a piece of mail from them which I expected would contain a charitable donation receipt for tax purposes.  Not so - instead it contained a 'Membership Card' with what I interpret as yet another request for donation.  I was pretty ticked and started reading all the fine print on the reverse. There in I learned this 'charity' is essentially run by a publicly traded company on the CDNX exchange under the symbol XDM which purports to provide "tele-canvassing staff and management, creative, printing, postage, computer and data services, telephone, offices, adminstration and corporate services for this campaign, and is paid a fee-for-services for providing these services".

Publicly traded companies do not run at a breakeven point - they are profitable or they die.  I did not intend for my hard earned retirement income to go to a publicly traded profitable company.  I am calling Visa tomorrow and having this charge reversed.  I would suggest anyone who is contacted by them DOES NOT contribute to this 'supposed cause'.  People are good hearted and they want to help.  Organizations like this who try to make money off our sympathy, the vast majority of which doesn't go to (in this case) burn victims at all, deserve to go down hill quickly.

I was visiting my mum in Regina when these schisters called - but the number was 780.669.0966.   I pretended to be my 81 year old mother.   The guy who called was yelling at me saying "REMEMBER?   REMEMBER?   YOU PROMISED US MONEY!"  When I revealed I was the daughter and not the senior citizen they were livid.   They pressure elderly people.   This has to be a scam.

This number called me at work. Luckily I had gone to the washroom and had missed the call. I suspect it was simply a telemarketer or credit card company.

This is a place looking for Donations to Send Kids to some type of camp.

The min. amount of money they ask for is $500.00, as a last resort they'll ask for $20.00.

Sounds like a scam to me!

Received a call from this # and lady on the phone was very insisting on me making a donation for a severly burned child.  She would not take no for an answer and was dead set on getting a credit card #.

I believe this is a bogus organization that used tdo be across the street from me.  Interesting to note that my spouse is a burn survivor from 30 years ago - and they wouldn't even look him in the eye!  Lots of young girls coming and going in taxis all winter long who were rather scantily clad.  These are just my observations!

these guys are idiots and completely unprofessional ,i just got a call from them ,the young person acted so unprofessional that it was unreal(he started asking me questions ),these companies should be made to hire professional people to call you and only call once or twice a year,there is no need for a foundation looking for donations to be bugging the donars in such an uncivilized way that their cause becomes more of an annoyance than of goodness,they should be reported and another enity of civilized rationality should be given the contract ,as of now it appears to be in the hands of fools,to bad for the burn victims with people like that working for them i would never give them a donation.

I got a call from a boy from the "Canadian burn society" or whatever. He was calling and reading from the computer screen. He started off giving me some sad story about a burnt child, the tone of his voice was halarious as almost as if he was going to cry lol. He started off with your $350 donation you can help these burnt victims....and it continued till $16 because of all the previous amounts i said NO and he finally gave up asking me about it lol. He also said something about being on a beach, enjoying the sun and sunscreen? I didn't mean to be rude but all i could do was laugh. It didnt seem serious. Scammers.

this number called us yesterday and the woman said she was from the canadian burn center and was very rude when my husband told her he was waiting on his unemployment .she said we could go on a later pre authorised payment of 90 bucks for 3 monthes, when he told her we would love to help but we have three kids she was rude and snapped at him and said if she doesn`t get someone to donate she will lose her job and then hung up on him.

I have called back the number to see who was calling. They say they are calling from the Canadian Burn Centre and want you to give a donation. What is strange about this is that there is no organization that exists under that name (Google it, you'll see!). This sounds like a scam.

Well, it appears you don't even have to talk to them or make a pledge to receive a bill for a $25.00 pledge. Not only this the keep sending reminders.

Received call from this number.  I called the number back and found out it was Canadian Burn Center.  Quite often, not always, they will give you a number to call to be put on the do not call list.  Such was the case this time.  They said to call 1-800-280-0205 and press "9".  Hopefully this will work. Nice at least they tell you who is calling, so many hide their identity and don't give any recourse to remove from a calling list.

This number continues to call and when I answer the phone, no one answers so I called it back and found out that it is The Canadian Burn Foundation and it actually says that they wished that could talk to you in person and says to call this number: 18002800205 - for their customer support center. Call the number and press 9 to be added to the "Do not call List". Hopefully this works, I just did it.
