Behaviours that are not respectful will not be tolerated at CAHR related events.  To ensure a positive environment for all, below we have defined unacceptable behaviour and harassment, consequences as unacceptable behaviour and provided guidance on what to do if you witness or are subject to harassment at a CAHR event.
