The Sunnyhill Facebook group is a social resource- a place for informal conversations between neighbours. Especially at this time when our lives have been changed so dramatically, many of us may be experiencing stress, anxiety and uncertainty. Having strong community connections helps- but only if we treat each other well.
We can all do our part in making this a respectful, productive and enjoyable place to connect by practicing the 3 Re’s: re-thinking our reactions, re-reading our responses and re-directing our questions.
The Sunnyhill Facebook group is not a place to discuss or debate the workings of the co-op. Please direct any questions, concerns or comments to committees or the board. The phone list includes contact information for committee members if you’re unsure of who to speak to. All posts related to co-op policy will be removed by the group admins.
Members of the Communications Committee do their best to moderate and administer this group. If you have questions or comments for the admins, please contact us via the committee email address, not Facebook tags or direct message.
Although it may feel like the conversations here are public and available to the membership- they’re not. Not everyone chooses to be on the Facebook group; it is a subset of the co-op membership. We want to encourage all members to be informed and engaged in respectful, civil and lively discussion. This is best done in a place where we can all contribute and benefit from each other’s contributions.
The Communications Committee is researching the possibility of integrating a forum on the co-op website. For now, we’ll experiment with turning commenting on blog posts at the request of the writer/ submitter. Let us know what you think! Please share your thoughts with Communications about what your ideal discussion space would look like. Reach us at sunnyhill.communications@gmail.com
