I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE, AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Lake Drive Loop Inc., its owners, agents, employees, and the Town of Georgina (the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action connected with my participation in this activity. This release covers ordinary negligence on the part of the Releasees but does not extend to claims arising from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Releasees.

I waive and release any and all claims that I, my family members, or anyone claiming through me may have against the Releasees for any loss, damage, expense, or injury, including death, arising from any cause whatsoever including ordinary negligence, breach of contract, or breach of statutory duty on the part of the Releasees.

INDEMINITY

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all claims, including legal fees, brought by third parties arising from my conduct or use of the equipment.
