Social Media Terms of Use
Our accounts vary in terms of frequency and content, but usually publish a few times a day on weekdays and occasionally on weekends and holidays. We'll publish helpful information and link you to more detailed information and resources when available. Our staff do not respond to threads or messages on external accounts.
If you need emergency medical, police or other similar services, please call 9-1-1 to help you reach the emergency service you need. To report a water, sewer or road issue requiring urgent attention after hours call 387-2030.
Things to consider
- Accounts will be monitored during normal business hours. During all other times we will try to respond to your question in a timely manner.
- Comments which do not follow our Terms of Use may be removed, and users that ignore these comment policies may be banned.
- For any matter that is confidential, or too complicated for posting to the public, please contact us by email to info@townofriverview.ca.
