While for The Canadian Institute of STEM Innovation (CISI) staff and instructors will make every reasonable effort to minimize exposure to known risks associated with each Registrant’s participation in a CISI program , I hereby acknowledge that I and/or my child if I am registering on his/her behalf (collectively, the “Registrant”) may be required, depending on the nature of the Program, to participate in various physical activities that may involve risk of injury. In this regard, I agree that I have provided (if required) a complete and accurate health history and hereby permit the Registrant to participate in the full range of Program activities, except as specifically noted by me in the health information section of the Program registration (where applicable).


I, the undersigned, as a participant or as a parent/guardian of a participant in a CISI Program, hereby understand and accept that participation in program activities involves certain inherent risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, physical injury, emotional distress, and property damage.
