The following waiver of all claims, release from all liability, assumption of all risks, agreement not to sue and other terms of this agreement are entered into by me (the Participant) with and for the benefit of 1320394 Alberta Ltd a.k.a Dreamcatcher™ Nature Assisted Therapy a.k.a Dreamcatcher™, its directors, officers, employees, volunteers, business operators, agents and site-property owners or leasees (collectively the “Host”).

I, the legal guardian of the dependent listed below am executing this waiver on behalf of the dependent participant in my capacity as legal guardian, and with the intent that this waiver be binding on myself and the dependent participant for all legal purpose. I hereby acknowledge to have read and agree to each of the following understandings:

I am aware that there are inherent dangers, hazards and risks (collectively “Risks”) associated with “Animal and Nature Activities” and injuries resulting from these “Risks” can occur. I am aware that the “Risks” of “Animal and Nature Activities” mean those dangerous conditions which are an integral part of “Animal and Nature Activities”, including but not limited to:

1. the propensity of any equine, ruminant, canine, feline or fowl to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm or death to persons on or around them and to potentially collide with, bite or kick other animals, people or objects;
2. the unpredictability of any equine, ruminant, canine, feline or fowl’s reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement, tremors, vibrations, unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals and hazards such as subsurface objects;
3. the potential for other participants to behave in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to themselves or others, including failing to act within their abilities to maintain control over an equine, ruminant, canine, feline or fowl; and
4. the potential for participants to fall over or from obstacles, from equines, or from moving vehicles that may be found in a nature setting.

Although the “Host” has taken steps to reduce the “Risks” and increase the safety of the “Animal and Nature Activities”, it is not possible for the “Host” to make the “Animal and Nature Activities” completely safe. I accept these “Risks” and agree to the terms of this waiver on behalf of the dependent participant.

In addition to consideration given to the “Host” for my dependent’s participation in “Animal and Nature Activities”, I and my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns, as well as the dependent participant and their heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns (collectively my “Legal Representatives”) agree:

1. to waive all claims that I, or my dependent, have or may have in the future against the “Host”;
2. to release and forever discharge the “Host” from all liability for any personal injury, death, property damage, or loss that I, the Dependent Participant, or “Legal Representatives”, might suffer as a result of the Dependent Participant’s participation in “Animal and Nature Activities” due to any cause; and
3. to be liable for and to hold harmless and indemnify the “Host” from all actions, proceedings, claims, damages, costs demands, including court costs and costs on a solicitor and own client basis, and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind arising out of or in any way connected with my dependent’s participation in “Animal and Nature Activities”.

This waiver and all terms contained herein are governed exclusively and in all respects by the laws of the Province or Territory of Canada in which the “Animal and Nature Activities” are provided by the “Host”.
