The "RZone" is an operating procedure that has been adopted by the Township of Perth East, to have a code of conduct that applies to all Township facilities, programs, parks and trails. The RZone procedure enforces a set of expectations around violence, vandalism and inappropriate behaviour for participants and members of the public.
| What does RZone mean? |
|
The ‘R' in the logo stands for Respect and Responsibility.

| How was the RZone created? |
|
The original RZone was created by the Town of Oakville, in order to create a code of conduct that was easily understood and recognizable by users of recreational facilities in the Town. With the success of this policy, many municipalities in Canada adopted their own Rzone policies, with permission from the Town of Oakville. Council of the Township of Perth East formally adopted our own RZone Policy on September 5, 2019. |
