Be respectful: Respect other opinions and share your opinions in a respectful way. Be focused: All viewpoints are welcome, but comments should be relevant to the social media page/account, the Department and/or its divisions. The Department's social media accounts are not monitored 24/7. The views expressed within posted comments do not necessarily reflect those of the Department and the Department does not endorse the comments or opinions provided by visitors to our social media pages.
