MoH camera and filming policy

We understand that images and social media are a part of everyday life, but many people in our community are understandably nervous of being captured on camera or being seen on social media. We ask that all our event attendees be mindful of this and only take pictures of people with express permission asked and given. This relates to any person identifiable in shot or in the background, thank you.
