I understand that it is the condition of my child’s participation in the Friends of the Central Experimental Farm (“FCEF”) Volunteer Program that my child does so at his or her own risk. I agree that FCEF shall not be liable in any way for any loss or injury resulting from or in connection with this participation. I hereby release FCEF, its members, directors, agents and staff from any and all liabilities and damages arising from my child’s participation in its activities. I also declare that my child is a minimum of 14 years, is in good health, and is physically capable of participating in the activities of the FCEF volunteer program. I agree that in case of inappropriate behaviour (including but not limited to inappropriate use of FCEF property or inappropriate behaviour towards other participants in the FCEF volunteer program), as determined by the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of FCEF, my child may be asked to leave the FCEF volunteer program. I also understand that I am responsible for the behaviour of my child, and I am liable for any damages to property caused by my child.
