Hate crimes Sample Clauses

Hate crimes. A hate crime is behaviour that deliberately intends to harm or intimidate one particular person. It is often motivated by prejudice because of someone’s race, colour, ethnic background, religion, sex, age, disability or sexuality. You must not harass your neighbours, their visitors or YMCA employees (including our contractors) because of their race, colour, religion, sex, sexuality, age, disability or medical condition. • verbal abuse; • using or threatening to use violence; • using an animal, such as an aggressive dog, to threaten another person; • using abusive, racist or insulting words or behaviour; • threatening or abusive letters, phone calls or e-mails; • physical assaults or damage to property, including graffiti; and • doing anything that interferes with the peace, comfort or convenience of other people. If you commit, cause or threaten a hate crime against your neighbours, their visitors or YMCA employees, your local YMCA might end your licence agreement or, if you are a tenant, take legal action against you that could lead to you losing your home. Your local YMCA will usually report any criminal act to the police. For more information, please contact your local YMCA staff.
