I hereby release and discharge the City of Lethbridge and the Dragonboat Association of Southern Alberta (herein referred to as "DASA"), its agents, coaches, directors, employees, members, officers, sponsors and volunteers (herein collectively referred to as "personnel") from all claims, demands, actions, judgements, and executions which the undersigned's heirs, successors, executors, administrators, representatives, or assigns may have, or claim to have for any and/or all personal injuries, known and unknown, and injuries to property, real or personal, caused by or arising out of, the participation in the activity of dragon boating not limited to dry land training (e.g. physical workouts), pool practices, on water practices, and/or racing at any venue.

I, the below-signed, fully understand, acknowledge, and agree that this sport activity has inherent risks involved, and I am fully aware of the nature of these risks. Notwithstanding these risks, I hereby indemnify and waive any and all rights, claims, prospective causes of action, cause of action, etc. as heretofore enumerated, and I hereby assume any and all risk associated with my participation in this sporting activity.
I understand that paddling on lakes, reservoirs and rivers involve certain dangers, not all of which can be listed here. Among the more obvious and frequent are:
• Exposure to variable extremes in weather that may cause injury due to heat or cold, and which may prevent or force route and itinerary changes.
• Contact with and possible immersion in cold water for undetermined periods, leading to hypothermia and possible suffocation.
• Exposure to capsizing and sinking, rocks, trees, bridge abutments, log jams, rope entanglement, current patterns, and other possible sources of "in water" injury and entrapment.
• Unfamiliar terrain and routes where dragon boats could become separated from the party. Transport by public or private motor vehicle.
• Travel in remote locations with poor communications and inability to get rescue or medical assistance easily or quickly.

I confirm that I am 18 years of age or older.
I am not relying on any oral or written statements, if any, made by DASA and its personnel, whether in brochure, advertisements or in individual conversations, to lead me to become involved in this program on any basis other than my assumptions of the risks involved.
I accept all of the risks and the possibility of death, personal injury, property damage, and loss, resulting from my involvement with practice and racing events.
I acknowledge that DASA personnel have been available to fully explain the various hazards and risks associated with this activity. In addition, I agree to read the DASA Safety Procedures on the DASA website under Documentation.

I, the below signed, have read this waiver/release carefully before signing, and confirm that I understand all of its terms and conditions. I execute it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its significance. I understand that it will be binding, not only by me, but also by my heirs, next of kin, personal representatives and assigns.
I agree that, even though I, my child or charge, or organization may not live/be in Alberta, the laws of the province of Alberta and the City of Lethbridge by-laws govern this waiver of liability and release of claims and will be enforceable in any court of law.
