Website Publishing Guidelines

Submissions for Email Notifications are considered from the following sources:

• RDKB (Regional District of Kootenay Boundary)
• Area E Director
• Other levels of government
• Public service announcements
• Non Profit organizations in the West Boundary

Note that we do not post email notifications for individuals or businesses.  We direct them to the Kettle River Echo.  

Generally, we don’t post “news”.  We direct these submissions to the Kettle River Echo.

We routinely make judgements about whether or not notifications will be posted, based on their relevance to the West Boundary.  In particular, with email notifications, we often see people unsubscribe when the content isn’t relevant or it’s too frequent.  Examples of when we apply judgement:

• We would not consider posting regular meeting notices for the many non profits in the West Boundary, but we would post AGM notices.  There are about 60 non profits in the West Boundary!
• We only post those RDKB notices that we consider relevant to the West Boundary.

We don’t generally post email notifications for regular services for individual faith based organizations.  We do post combine notifications as applicable (e.g. Christmas services throughout the West Boundary).  We do post events and fundraisers for faith based organizations, as we do for all non-profit organizations.

We only post fundraising events for non-profit organizations and only when the beneficiary of the funds is stated on the materials.

Notifications are also posted on WestBoundary Connect Facebook page.  They are posted to other relevant Facebook pages under the name “West BoundaryFan”.
