Events bring people together in physical space. That makes them powerful, useful, and — if mishandled — a vector for fraud, harassment, and child-safety risk. The Events Policy defines what counts as an Event Pin, who the responsible organizer is, the age-appropriate-setting requirements, the moderation posture during and after the event, the rules for events at sensitive locations, and the post-event lifecycle.
It applies to event organizers, attendees, Pin owners hosting events, the Map.ca community team, and any partner co-hosting events on Map.ca.
Requirements
- Identify the responsible organizer clearly on every event.
- Respect age-appropriate settings on events involving minors.
- Remove past events from active discovery on a documented cadence.

Prohibitions
- Do not list events used for fraudulent purposes.
- Do not list events at sensitive locations without explicit consent.

- Do not retain attendee data beyond the event-data retention period.
