RZone
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.
- Respect for yourself
- Respect for others
- Responsibility for your actions
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.
How do I report an act of violence, vandalism and/or inappropriate behaviour?
If you feel you have witnessed an act of violence, vandalism and/or inappropriate behaviour at one of our facilities that has violated the RZone, you may report it in the following ways:
- Fill out a paper form, and bring or mail in a sealed envelope to the Perth East Recreation Complex (40 Temperance Street, Milverton ON, N0K 1M0)
- Report online using our secure form
If you have any questions regarding reporting an incident, please contact Perth East Recreation and Community Services at (519) 595-8375.
What is considered an "incident" under the policy?
Inappropriate behaviour or actions for the purpose of this procedure includes, but is not limited to, the following behaviours:
- Aggressive or intimidating approaches to another individual (verbal assault)
- Threats
- Attempts to goad or incite anger in others
- Throwing of articles in a deliberate or aggressive manner
- Physical striking of another individual
- Theft of property
- Possession of weapons
- Illegal consumption of alcohol or drugs
- Contravention of Municipal by-laws, policies, or procedures
- Vandalism: the deliberate destruction, damage or defacing of property owned or leased through the Municipality
- Harassment: “engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome” as defined by the Ontario Human Rights Code and covered by the Township’s Workplace Harassment and Violence Policies
If I report an incident, what could potentially happen?
Please review the Township’s RZone Enforcement Guidelines for more detailed information on consequences and enforcement.
It is understood that these guidelines do not include all types of behaviour, that each incident will be reviewed based on information available. Consequences may be more severe or escalated depending on the circumstances of the inappropriate conduct.
