The Municipality will not post events that are:

  1. Commercial in nature, and in the Municipality’s sole opinion, are attempting to advertise, promote or sell products or services of an individual or individual business unless a Municipality sponsored or sanctioned event.
  2. Discriminatory to any individual or group.
  3. Promote, exhibit, illustrate or manifest hate or obscene/pornographic/sexual content of any kind.
  4. Promote an individual religion or religious service.
  5. Fundraising events unless they are for registered charities or non-profit organizations.
