Niagara Catholic regularly updates its social media accounts between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. From time-to-time, we may update our sites on evenings or weekends to share important information. We make every attempt to acknowledge messages or questions and reply to them in a timely fashion.

We will retweet and share information from other users or accounts that may be of value to our community. Retweets and shares should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the originator or of any organization.

Niagara Catholic welcomes comments, suggestions and questions about the content we post on social media channels. While it is not always possible to reply to individual questions, we will address common themes. We encourage anyone with questions about Niagara Catholic to contact the Catholic Education Centre at 905.735.0240. For those who wish to contact us via social media, we ask those with specific questions or concerns to please address them through the message section of Facebook, rather than on the wall. We reserve the right to remove comments on our various social media sites which do not comply with our Guidelines for Commenting.

We encourage people to share their comments and questions about our posts and updates on social media sites. However, we ask you to please be respectful of others and to follow the general rules of civil behavior. Comments which contain profane, defamatory, derogatory or discriminatory language will be removed and the commenter will be blocked. Comments that contain threats or other forms of bullying will not be tolerated. Furthermore, we remind you that comments posted are in the public domain and are never entirely deleted.

To protect your own privacy and the privacy of others, please do not include personal information such as your phone number, home address, or email address in your comment.

The site administrators will also remove posts based on the following:

• Comments which are contrary to the rights enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
• Comments which contain advertising, solicitations and spam
• Comments posted by robot accounts

Participation on Niagara Catholic’s social network sites is voluntary and individuals who comment do so at their own risk and take personal responsibility for their comments. Please ensure comments are relevant to the status update posted and comply with the above-noted guidelines to ensure our social media sites remain an informative and positive way to enjoy the great things happening in our schools.
