Waivers

The Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed that waivers are an effective risk management tool to limit exposure to liability for participants in sports and recreation activities.

As such, a registration waiver is often used for guests to sign or accept online when making a reservation at a campground, RV park and resort as well as sent with their confirmations. The waiver should be used with caution and after review by the businesses lawyer to be amended to their particular business situation and risks.
