Respectful Communication

• Be respectful in all interactions, maintaining a welcoming tone. Avoid language that could be offensive, inflammatory, or discriminatory.

Stay Relevant

• Discussions should be relevant to APCAA’s mission, activities, and community topics. Off-topic discussions should be kept to a minimum to maintain the focus of each platform.

No Political or Controversial Discussions

• To ensure inclusivity, avoid discussing political issues, religious debates, or any sensitive topics that could create division within the community.

Respect Privacy

• Do not share private information or photos of other members without their consent. All posts should respect members’ privacy and comfort.

Personal Promotions and Advertising

• Unsolicited promotions, business advertisements, or self-promotion are not allowed unless pre-approved by APCAA’s admin team. All content should align with APCAA’s values and support the community’s interests.

Issue Reporting

• If you see inappropriate or inappropriate content with these policies, please report it to the admins(apcaa.info@gmail.com). We aim to keep this space safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Consequences for Violations

• APCAA reserves the right to block or remove posts and restrict users who repeatedly violate these policies. To maintain a positive environment, repeated violations may result in restricted access to our platforms.

Purpose of Group

• The "Annual Members" WhatsApp group is dedicated to sharing APCAA updates, event details, and community information. It is not a space for personal conversations or off-topic discussions.

• YYC Adda is an open WhatsApp group created to foster networking, lighthearted conversation, and community support among participants in the Calgary area. This group includes both APCAA members and non-members ("outsiders"), so please follow these guidelines to ensure a positive and inclusive space for all.

No Debates or Arguments

• Respect others’ opinions, and avoid engaging in arguments. Any disagreements should be resolved respectfully outside of the group.

Avoid Frequent Posts

• To prevent clutter, limit posting to essential updates, event reminders, or community announcements. Memes, jokes, and non-relevant messages should be minimal.

Admin-Only Announcements

• Important announcements, event details, or group-wide messages should ideally be shared by APCAA admins to ensure consistency.

Event Promotion and Community Content

• Facebook is a platform for promoting APCAA events, sharing photos, videos, and community highlights. Feel free to engage, share your thoughts, and show support for our community posts.

Relevant Content Only

• Keep posts relevant to APCAA’s activities, culture, or community interests. Non-related content may be removed to maintain the group’s focus.

Positive Engagement

• Support and encourage one another. Disrespectful comments, arguments, or offensive language will be moderated.

Photo and Video Sharing

• Photos and videos from events may be shared, provided that they are respectful and show APCAA in a positive light. Please seek permission before sharing photos that include individuals, especially minors.​
