At ALUS, we value meaningful dialogue with our community and welcome engagement with our content across all platforms. To foster productive conversations, we ask that you familiarize yourself with our guiding principles before commenting on our social media.
ALUS Canada is committed to maintaining spaces where collaborative, trusting, and respectful relationships can flourish. Our program operates on 8 Guiding Principles that inform everything we do—including how we moderate our platforms.
We reserve the right to remove, hide, or unpublish content or restrict users without prior notice when posts, comments, or profiles violate our values and principles. We make these decisions to protect the integrity of our community and uphold our values.
