LEGAL STUFF - Liabilities, Obligations and Responsibilities

We are a group composed of volunteers. We are NOT a professional organization or pro trail guides and/or pro event organizers. However, as a group of friends and acquaintances, we will look out for each other. The organizer and any/all assistant organizers and other attendees are in no way responsible and liable for your personal safety and health state, before, during and at anytime after this event. By RSVPing "Yes", for this event, you acknowledge that you fully understand and accept the aforementioned conditions and following event attendance conditions and, you are solely responsible for your own health, safety and well-being before, during and at anytime after the event as stated previously. All attendees shall forever hold harmless the organizers and other attendees and unconditionally waive any liabilities resulting from attending and/or participating in this event.

PLEASE DO NOT SIGN ON UNLESS YOU ARE COMING FOR SURE.

We'll meet at the Burke Mountain gate just before the Port Coquitlam Hunting and Fishing Club at the end of Harper Road in Port Coquitlam. We're doing a loop up the Coquitlam Viewpoint Trail to the Sawblade Falls turnoff, stopping briefly at the falls, then taking the Woodland Walk trail back. It will be about 200 m elevation gain and about 2 hours round trip.

Please read the following rules carefully:

• Only RSVP for hikes of an elevation gain you have recently climbed. Group hikes are not a place to test your endurance; if you are not capable you will hold up the group or someone will have to turn back with you, and this is not fair to other group members.

• We will only wait 5 minutes after the meeting time before departing for the hike, so please be on time.

• Dogs are NOT allowed on the group hikes unless otherwise stated.

• Spaces are limited, so if you RSVP for a hike and do not show up, you may be removed from this group.

• Spaces are limited, so if you are bringing someone else, make sure they are added in the RSVP, and the previous rule will again apply.

• The organizer does not arrange carpooling, but messages can be left on the event page enquiring about carpooling from other attendees.

• The organizer has the right to decline to hike with you if you show up unprepared. Prepared means not just physical ability but adequate footwear and supplies (never wear sandals for a hike).
