FedNor uses X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn, social media platforms as one tool in its efforts to communicate clearly, quickly and in an engaging manner to Canadians interested in information related to FedNor events and announcements, and economic development in Northern Ontario.
FedNor’s X account @FedNor and LinkedIn page, https://ca.linkedin.com/company/fednor, are managed by Communications.
Official Policy
Our posts on X or LinkedIn should not be considered the authoritative source of policy or guidance on services and programs from FedNor. FedNor’s official communications will be made through more traditional channels: official publications, speeches, statements to the traditional media and the FedNor website.
Content
The content we provide using these platforms is based on anticipated public interest about FedNor programs and initiatives, as well as economic development in Northern Ontario.
Reposts
Reposts we share do not imply endorsement on the part of FedNor. We may repost news, links and personal observations we believe are relevant to our focus on economic development and outreach.
Following
FedNor’s decision to follow a particular user does not imply endorsement of any kind. We follow accounts we believe are relevant to the mandate of our work, specifically as it relates to economic development in Northern Ontario.
Followers
Similarly, the appearance of a user as a follower of @FedNor does not imply endorsement. FedNor will only take steps to remove or block a follower when that follower is automated or posts offensive material.
Replies and Messages
We will read all @replies and direct messages sent to us and, when necessary, will respond to them in their language of origin.
Privacy
X and LinkedIn are not Government of Canada websites. Users are encouraged to read X’s Privacy Policy and LinkedIn’s privacy policy. For guidance on how to protect your privacy on X, review X’s Safety: Private Information.
Official Languages
FedNor’s posts are composed and delivered in both official languages. If a post is meant to highlight a link to content found elsewhere on the Web, the posts will be sent in the language of the content it links to. Similarly, a repost will only be delivered in the language of the original author.
Accessibility
X and LinkedIn, as third-party networks, are not bound by Government of Canada policies for Web accessibility. However, the Government of Canada is committed to achieving a high standard of accessibility – if you have any problems accessing any information on social media, please visit our website for fully accessible content.
Availability
We aim to update and monitor our social media accounts during regular office hours (Eastern Time), Monday to Friday, excluding holidays.
