The goal of this policy is to promote a positive, safe, and supportive environment for all members of the public, staff and Council.
| Why do we need R Zone? |
| Incidents of bullying, violence, vandalism and discriminatory behaviour have unfortunately risen over the past number of years. Prior to R Zone, no municipal by-law or policy existed that provided staff with clear direction and authority to deal with issues that were not clearly criminal behaviours requiring police involvement. R Zone contributes to safer, healthier and more respectful recreation environments. |
| What does the 'R' mean? |
|
The 'R' in R Zone stands for: Respect for yourself, Respect for others, and Responsibility for your actions The R Zone logo serves as a reminder to staff and the public that the operating procedure is in effect and applies to everyone: participants, officials, spectators, visitors, parents and staff. |
