COVID-19
The Government of Nova Scotia declared a province-wide state of emergency under the
Emergency Management Act on March 22, 2020, to protect the health and safety of all Nova Scotians and to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). COVID-19 is easily spread by contact with droplets produced by people who have the virus. The University has put in place measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the University cannot guarantee that any individual attending the University campus, using the University’s facilities, or participating in activities or events organized by the University, whether on-campus or off-campus, will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the University campus and participating in activities or events organized by the University could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. As a result, the University and the participant acknowledge that COVID-19 has resulted in uncertainty and risk around public events.
Government and University Directives to be Followed
Participants shall follow COVID-19 directives from Nova Scotia Public Health, the Province of Nova Scotia, and/or the Government of Canada as they pertain to the use of the Facility, and participants shall follow any University COVID-19 policies.
I also give permission for CBU staff to administer first aid treatment to my child and acknowledge that I will be responsible for any medical or other charges in connection with my child’s treatment.
Participants are expected to be respectful and considerate towards other participants, CBU staff including all instructors, and external partner organization instructors. Participants are expected and required to follow the directions of all instructors.
I confirm that I have discussed these rules and expectations with my child.
I hereby consent to my child’s participation in the
CBU’s Summer Basketball School on the terms and conditions set out above by signing below.
I agree to HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY Cape Breton University from any and all liability for any damage to the property of, or personal injury to, any third party resulting from my child's participation in the CBU’s Monday Night Basketball.
I CONFIRM THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I AM AWARE THAT BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT I AM ACCEPTING FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MEDICAL ASSISTANCE THE UNIVERSITY MAY DEEM NECESSARY FOR MY CHILD'S HEALTH AND SAFETY AND ALSO FOR ANY DAMAGE TO THIRD PERSONS OR THEIR PROPERTY THAT MY CHILD MAY CAUSE.
