Notice of Risk
When children from multiple families attend a day camp, there is an increased risk of the COVID-19 virus coming into the camp. Children who are infected with the COVID-19 virus are more likely than adults to have very mild infections or to have no symptoms at all, but these children can still transmit the infection to other children and to adults at the camp. This means that children can bring home an infection acquired in a camp and put other persons at risk. Even if a day camp has a screening process to help detect infections when there are symptoms; this screening process will not detect infected children or adults who do not have symptoms at the time of screening.
I have full knowledge of the risks involved in participating in the program and am voluntarily assuming the risks involved; I fully understand that I will be solely responsible for any injury, loss, or damage myself/ my child / my ward causes or sustains, and
I release the Manor Park Community Council (MPCC), the City of Ottawa, and their respective employees, volunteers, or instructors from any claims, damages, actions or causes of actions arising out of or in consequence of any loss, injury, or damage to any person or property incurred while engaged in the program.
I authorize the Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) to collect and use the personal information on this form for the purpose of the management and administration of the program. I authorize the MPCC to disclose such personal information to third parties, as may be required for this purpose, including legal and insurance companies. The MPCC may also be required or permitted to disclose such personal information pursuant to relevant privacy laws or other laws.
I agree to abide by the rules and regulations, policies, and procedures of the MPCC.
PHOTO RELEASE:
Throughout the year the Manor Park Community Council (MPCC) takes and/or collects digital images of children / adults participating in community activities. These images could be shown on our community websites, posted on MPCC's official social media outlets, submitted to community newspapers, local business newspapers and/or used as promotional material for community initiatives and programs, and agree to the use of these photographs.
