1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

I understand that rock climbing, indoor bouldering, top-rope climbing, weight training, strength training, fitness training, stretching, yoga, all instructional classes and coaching sessions, observing others engaged in these activities, school and institutional sessions, and all other activities, events and services in any way connected with or related to those activities (collectively, the “Activities”) at the Facility involve many inherent risks and dangers which include but are not limited to: bumps; bruises; abrasions; cuts; collisions; falling; illness or trauma; muscle and joint sprains and strains; broken wrists, ankles, legs and other bones; mechanical failure of equipment; misuse of equipment or facilities; defective flooring; loose or damaged climbing holds; worn or defective ropes; poor decision making by me or other persons; lack of fitness; loss of balance or control; failure to follow instruction; negligence of other persons; and negligence on the part of Boulder Parc or its staff.

I understand that by participating in the Activities during a pandemic there is an inherent risk that I may contract the COVID-19 virus, which may result in flu-like symptoms, respiratory problems, organ failure, permanent disability or death.

I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS AND DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY, PERMANENT DISABILITY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.

Please initial: 


 

2. WAIVER OF CLAIMS, RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

I HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS which I have or may in the future have against Boulder Parc, its owners, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, coaches, instructors, contractors, subcontractors, agents, sponsors, volunteers, participants, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), on account of injury, illness, death, or property damage arising out of or attributable to the Activities, due to any cause whatsoever, including without limitation the negligence of Boulder Parc or any other Released Party, breach of contract, or breach of any statutory or other duty of care owing under occupiers liability legislation or otherwise. I covenant to make or bring any such claim against Boulder Parc or any other Released Party, and forever release and discharge Boulder Parc and all other Released Parties from liability under such claims.

I AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS Boulder Parc and all other Released Parties against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgements, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including legal fees, in connection with any direct or third-party claim, suit, action, or proceeding in any way connected to or resulting from my presence at the Facility or the performance of the Activities, which may be brought against or suffered by Boulder Parc and/or any other Released Party including, for greater certainty, any such claims brought by me or on my behalf.

Please initial: 


 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

I confirm that I will not participate in any Activities at the Facility if:

1.    I have experienced any flu-like symptoms over the past 14 days;
2.    I have been in contact with, to the best of my knowledge and awareness, someone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 over the past 14 days;
3.    I have travelled outside of Canada over the past 14 or I have been in close contact with someone under self-quarantine after travelling outside of Canada over the past 14 days; or
4.    I have been advised by any public health unit, government agency, or health care professional to self-isolate due to possible exposure to COVID

I understand that my access to the Facility may be suspended as Boulder Parc and its staff deem necessary if: I have COVID-19; I have any symptoms of COVID-19; I am suspected of having COVID-19 based on screening; or I fail to follow policies put in place to protect myself and persons around me while at the Facility.

I represent that I have no illnesses, disabilities or other conditions that prevent me from safely participating in the Activities. If any such conditions arise in the future, I will first discuss my participation in the Activities with my physician to determine the effect on my health.

I represent that I will immediately cease participation in the Activities and notify the nearest Boulder Parc staff member, if at any time I sense any unusual hazard or unsafe condition or if I feel that I am physically, emotionally, or mentally unfit for continued participation in the Activities.

Please initial: 


 

I freely accept full responsibility for my own safety and agree to abide by the following rules while using the Facility:

1.    I will not consume any alcohol or any substance which would impair my sense of judgement prior to or while using the Facility.
2.    I will not be permitted to boulder and/or top-rope climb on any climbing wall or any bouldering wall until I have completed the pre-requisite Facility orientation and/or top-rope belay test.
3.    I will always tie directly into the climbing harness when engaging in top-rope climbing with a figure-8 follow-through knot and a double fisherman’s keeper knot.
4.    All top-rope climbing must be performed with a Grigri device and locking carabiner. Roped climbers and belayers must only use equipment approved by Boulder Parc staff.
5.    I will only belay when knowledgeable and experienced at belaying.
6.    I assume full responsibility for my choice of belayers. For top-rope climbing, I understand that Boulder Parc provides the ropes, anchors and belay devices but will not be responsible for poor judgement by an ill-chosen belayer.
7.    I will only use the weight training equipment in a controlled and responsible manner, and will re-rack everything after use to avoid creating tripping hazards.
8.    I understand that climbing privileges will be revoked in the event that I engage in any activity deemed unsafe by Boulder Parc staff.
9.    I will not hold Boulder Parc responsible for any lost or stolen personal belongings.
10.    I must promptly report any equipment defects, unsafe situations, or accidents.
11.    I understand that formal and informal teaching or coaching of individuals or groups, including but not limited to top-rope belaying, technical skills, or exercises may only be performed by Boulder Parc staff.
12.    I will comply with any policies implemented by Boulder Parc regarding self-screening, the use of personal protective equipment, and physical distancing to limit the spread of infectious disease.

Please initial: 


 

INFORMATION RELEASE FOR CONTACT TRACING

In consideration of the objectives of public health units to understand and control potential outbreaks of COVID-19, I authorize Boulder Parc to disclose information to Toronto Public Health regarding my phone number, check-in and check-out times, and any other reasonable and necessary information incident to COVID-19 contact tracing, should the same be requested or required by Toronto Public Health or otherwise under applicable law.
