How and when should an incident be reported?
If you are involved in or witness a situation at a municipal indoor facility (like an arena or community centre), you can report it to a staff member. With your assistance, he/she will complete a report.
When a situation occurs at an outdoor facility (like a park) with no available staff, if a community organization is involved advise them directly so they can file a report.
You are also welcome to report your concerns directly by:
Online Form: RZone Incident Report

What happens after a report has been made?
Whether reported in person, through an organization, or online, the report will be logged by municipal staff and will either be dealt with directly by municipality or forwarded on the appropriate group/organization for follow-up.
Will the municipality follow up on every incident?
The intent of The R Zone is that each organization takes responsibility for situations created by or that affect their participants in cooperation with the Municipality of North Middlesex. In some cases, the municipality may take the lead role, while in other cases, it will be the community group or organization.
What are some of the consequences that may occur?
Each report will be reviewed on an individual basis. The nature and degree of discipline will be determined by the severity of the situation.
