WAIVER OF ALL CLAIMS, RELEASE FROM LIABILITY & ASSUMPTION OF RISKS

If the applicant is not nineteen years of age, the parent or guardian of the applicant must sign the waiver form on behalf of the applicant.

WARNING: By signing this you also give up the right to sue.

Wildsight means the regional society Wildsight, its six branches (Creston Valley, Golden, Elk Valley, Kimberley/Cranbrook, Invermere and Revelstoke), and their officers, directors, members, employees, contractors, agents, and any person acting on their behalf.

I [the UNDERSIGNED] accept all the dangers and risks and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting while my child or myself are participating in a Wildsight activity. I agree not to sue Wildsight on account of any circumstance whatsoever arising from my or my child’s participation in any activity organized, sponsored or conducted by Wildsight or any of its affiliated branches (all of which are referred to in this clause as an “activity”). If I am signing this waiver as the parent/guardian of a minor, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wildsight from and against all costs, claims and liabilities of any nature and kind whatsoever arising from the participation of such minor in any activity of Wildsight. In entering into this agreement I am not relying on any oral, written or visual representation or statements made by Wildsight including those in its advertising or brochures, to induce me to go on the Wildsight activity.

I also agree for myself, my heirs, my executors, administrators and assignees to forever discharge and release Wildsight, for any personal injury, death, property damage or loss sustained by me or my child as a result of my or my child’s participation in the Wildsight activity due to any cause whatsoever, including, without limitation, negligence on the part of Wildsight and its staff.

I am aware that in addition to the usual dangers and risks inherent in field trip activities, certain additional dangers and risks are possible, some of which include TERRAIN, WEATHER, ANIMALS, and COMMUNICABLE DISEASES.

I further acknowledge and agree that I am to supply for my child and/or myself, such footgear, outerwear, nourishment, water, medications, medical and such other supplies as I may deem fit, taking into account varying weather conditions and terrain that may be encountered on such an activity.
