As per our insurance requirements, all participants in all orienteering events organized by Orienteering Canada affiliated clubs and associations are required to sign this waiver (for adults) and assumption of risk (for minors). They are combined on the same waiver. No changes to the content is permitted. This is an updated waiver for 2023.
Waiver / Assumption of Risk
English (DO NOT EDIT THESE DOCUMENTS!)
Appendix A: General Guidelines For Safety In Orienteering
The Waiver / Assumption of Risk mentions "Appendix A: General Guidelines For Safety In Orienteering". That document is available at: https://orienteering.ca/general-guidelines-for-safety-in-orienteering.
Photo Consent (new process for 2023)
Note that the waiver/Assumption of risk does not include a photo consent clause. If you are using this waiver or assumption of risk, you should also include a request for photo consent on your registration process. We took this out of the waiver because there may be legitimate reasons why a participant does not consent to having their photo used and we don't want to exclude them from orienteering.
Here is appropriate wording:
Does the participant (and the participant’s parent/guardian, if applicable) consent to the non-commercial use of photographs, videos, recordings taken during orienteering activities on orienteering websites, social media, promotional materials and newsletters?
(If you club is using Interpodia for membership, we have set it up so that the photo consent process will be asked as part of the membership registration process automatically).
