COVID-19 Waiver and Code of Conduct
By attending the Port Credit Yacht Club (the “Club”), you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that your guests, family and you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the Club and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. You understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Club may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of yourself and others, including, but not limited to, Club employees, agents, representatives and other guests and their families.
You voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to your guests, family or yourself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that your guests, family and you may experience or incur in connection with your attendance at the Club.
You further acknowledge that you have provided a copy of this information to any of your family members or guests which you have or will permit to attend at the Club, and that each family member and guest has read and understands this document.
On your behalf, and on behalf of your family from the same household, by attending at the Club, you hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. You understand and agree that this includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Club, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after attendance at the Club.
By attending the Club, you agree to follow the Port Credit Yacht Club COVID-19 Code of Conduct and confirm that you, members of your direct household or your guests:
If you think you are showing COVID-19 symptoms or feel sick, or if you are living with a person who has such symptoms please, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, COME TO THE CLUB. Stay at home, self-isolate and contact Glenn Williams at gwilliams@pcyc.net. If you are under a government mandated self-isolation period, you are required to complete it before coming to the Club. There are COVID-19 self-assessment tools to help you determine next steps and if you need further assessment for COVID-19. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/ and https://ca.thrive.health/covid19/en
If you, your guests or family members have a condition whereby you are immunosuppressed or have a chronic illness, you should consult your physician or public health resources to help you decide if you should come to the Club.
Everyone who comes to the Club must first read this document and be ready and equipped to fully abide by its provisions. This Code explains rules of behaviour so that all members and their guests know exactly what is expected during the phases of re-opening. As the situation evolves, we will issue revised versions which will explain how we will continue to work together as we enjoy more activities at the Club within government and public health restrictions. The decisions that every one of us make now, and in the days ahead, will continue to define what the boating season will look like for 2020.
PCYC’s COVID-19 Code of Conduct is based on these principles which guide our actions through this challenging time and reflect our core values as a Club:
Any violation of the COVID-19 Code of Conduct shall be brought to the attention of any Flag Officer or Club staff, who will then bring the matter to the attention of the General Manager at the earliest available opportunity.
