Assumption of The Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to COVID-19

ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. BGC Battlefords has put in place procedures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Regardless of the precautionary measures in place, BGC Battlefords cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. All program guidelines are subject to change with no notice upon government recommendations and requirements. Attending BGC Battlefords programs could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending BGC Battlefords programs and that exposure or infection may result in injury, illness, health complications or death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at BGC Battlefords programs may result from the actions or omissions of myself and others, including, but not limited to, BGC Battlefords’ employees and program participants, and their families. By my signature, I confirm that I have read and understand the COVID-19 Procedures as posted on the BGC Battlefords website ( https://www.bgcbattlefords.ca/covid-19-information/) or as shown to me in-person.

I voluntarily agree to assume all risks and accept sole responsibility for any issues or complications my child(ren) or myself may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)’s attendance and participation in BGC Battlefords programming. On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release and hold harmless BGC Battlefords (legal name, Battlefords Boys and Girls Club), its employees, the program facility and all representatives from all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating to it. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, or omissions of BGC Battlefords, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any BGC Battlefords program.
