Community Resource Network Website GUIDELINES and publishing CRITERIA
Community Resource Network websites are provided as a tool for local service groups, volunteer organizations, community centres, agencies, etc., to inform their neighbours and community as a whole, about their activities, services, programs and events as well as to share their success stories and celebrate their milestones with the community. Community Resource Networks (CRNs) are comprised of community and organizational staff and volunteers who come together around the concept of building and sustaining a safe, healthy and caring community. CRNs share the simple belief that the well being of our neighbourhoods and communities require that all residents be informed, engaged and provided the opportunities for involvement in local events and issues that surround and affect them.
CRNs embrace such values as:
• Acceptance
• Inclusion
• Diversity
• Shared Information
• Involvement
• Friendship
• Partnership
• Active Participation
• Affordable Internet Access
Organizations that share similar values and that are interested in joining the Community Resource Network and contributing material to this website are invited to contact us. All submissions are subject to editorial board review.
The Community Resource Network reserves the right to refuse submissions and/or membership to the CRN from applicants whose activities are not in keeping with the purpose of the Community Resource Network.
No submission that is deemed to promote or display offensive messages will be accepted.
Our website is "non-commercial". We do not promote business or provide space for advertising or web page labeling on our website.

CRN EDITORIAL Functions
Community Resource Networks will decide how editorial functions are to be carried out; the CRN may keep or delegate responsibilities within its structure. Tasks, duties and levels of responsibility granted to a delegated body are decisions of the Community Resource Network. An example of a delegated body is a sub-committee of CRN members who form an "Editorial Board".
Editorial Board Duties May Include:
- Develop and recommend homepage look, colour and feel, from among available CIM-Net template layouts.
- Develop and recommend guidelines for website advertising if the CRN has approved the use of advertising, either as a revenue source and/or as a means of local economic enhancement and development.
- Responsibility for maintaining on the CRN homepage, up-to-date policies and guidelines for website content, and criteria for determining organizational authority to publish on the website.
- Grant or deny approval for content providers to submit material for inclusion on the CRN website.

- Review, edit, approve, or return content submitted for website.
- Change view screen from private to public view for approved content.
