The RZone is all about respect and responsibility – respect for yourself, respect for others, and responsibility for your actions.
The RZone Policy is a “zero tolerance” behaviour policy which outlines measures to discourage incidents of inappropriate behaviour and to ensure that any instances are dealt with quickly, fairly and in a consistent manner. It applies to all City of Belleville facilities, properties, City-sponsored events, programs, written or verbal communications or at any other location where City staff are present.
The goal is to promote a positive, safe enjoyable and supportive environment for all participants, spectators, contractors, volunteers and employees.
