Harassment includes offensive verbal comments, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, unwanted photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Guests, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, or similar activities are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event (with no refund if applicable). If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a staff member immediately, either on Zoom, at the event, or via email at BAO@brampton.ca or you can DM (Direct Message) us on our @baobrampton on Instagram or Twitter.
