To:        Go Home Lake Cottage Owners Association (“GHLCOA”)

In consideration of my child listed on the associated registration form (“child”) being allowed to participate in the swimming lessons and/or Kids Nature and Environment Day (“camp/clinic”) and/or its related events and activities, I, the undersigned acknowledge and agree that:

 I am the child’s parent or legal guardian and have authority to sign this waiver of liability on behalf of the child.

  1. I acknowledge the risk of injury, associated with the activities involved in the camp/clinic and that such risks are always present due to the nature of the activity.

  2. I KNOWINGLY AND FREELY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for my child’s participation in the camp/clinic and any related activities.

  3. I agree that although GHLCOA has taken steps to reduce the risks and increase safety of the activities, it is not possible for GHLCOA to make the activities completely safe. I accept these risks and agree to the terms of this waiver even if GHLCOA is found to be negligent or in breach of any duty or care or any obligation to my child in his/her participation in the activities of the camp/clinic.

  4. I willingly agree to comply with GHLCOA’s policies and procedures (as amended from time to time) and with the camp’s/clinic’s terms and conditions for my child’s participation.

  5. I have provided, in writing to GHLCOA, any and all of allergies (food or otherwise) and medical conditions from which my child suffers and confirm that such allergies or medical conditions are not of such a nature that participation in the camp/clinic will adversely impact their health.

  6. I, for myself, my child and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS GHLCOA and its respective agents, volunteers, employees, officers, directors, officials, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers and applicable owners (“Releasees”) WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, including but not limited to negligence (failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent and careful person would use under similar circumstances), breach of any duty imposed by law, breach of contract or mistake or error of judgement of GHLCOA.

  7. I agree that this waiver and all terms contained within are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario.  I hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that Province. Any litigation to enforce this waiver must be instituted in the Province of Ontario.

 I AGREE THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO AND HAVE READ, IN ITS ENTIRETY, THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK STATEMENT AND FURTHER FULLY UNDERSTAND THE TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND SIGN IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY INDUCEMENT.
