Definitions

Wilderness canoe trips and clinics include lake and river canoeing, hiking swimming, fishing, use of knives, saws, axes, nature observations, lifting, carrying canoe and trip equipment and other associated activities.

In consideration of Horizons accepting my application I agree to this Release of Claims and Waiver of Liability. I understand that wilderness canoe trips and clinics involve certain dangers, not all of which can be listed here. Among the most frequent are:

1. Inclement and unpredictable weather, which may cause injury due to extremes of heat and cold and which may prevent travel to, from or within an area;
2. Hazards related to canoe travel on lakes and rivers;
3. Submersion in cold water resulting from upset or falling out of a canoe;
4. Unfamiliar country, where the participant may become lost, get off route or be separated from the rest of the party;
5. Remoteness of location with poor communication and inability to get rescued or medical assistance quickly or easily;
6. Medical problems arising before, during or after the wilderness canoe trip or clinic;
7. Illness related to change of diet or water source;
8. Transport by public or private motor vehicle and aircraft;
9. Natural hazards, including slippery rocks, uneven terrain, and the presence of wild animals; and
10. Failure to follow directions from the guide, including those specifying:

• staying with the group at all times unless the guide is consulted and provides consent;
• wearing an approved personal floatation device completely fastened at all times on and around the water;
• safe use of tools and other wilderness canoe trip equipment.

I accept all of the risks including the possibility of death, personal injury, property damage and loss resulting from my involvement with the trip or clinic I am taking with Horizons.

I release Horizons, its officers, employees, guides, agents and representatives from any and all liability for any personal injury, death, property damage or loss I may suffer as a result of my participation in their trip or clinic, for any cause whatsoever (including negligence) on the part of Horizons, it’s officers, employees, guides, agents or representatives.

I certify that I am physically capable and fit to participate in this activity and I have no medical conditions or needs other than those listed in the Registration Form provided to Horizons.

I confirm that I am eighteen years of age or older. (Younger participants must have a parent or guardian read and sign this document.)

I confirm that I have read over this document before signing, that I understand it, and that it will be binding not only on me, but also my heirs, my next of kin, my executors, administrators and assigns.

I agree that the laws of Saskatchewan govern this contract and that any legal concerns will be handled in the competent and fair courts of La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I hereby agree to permit other members of the trip or clinic to take film and photographic records of my participation in this wilderness experience.
