All activities promoted through the BCMC Website have inherent risks. The BCMC Waiver is the main tool for the club and its members to protect themselves from liability arising from such risky activities. We regret but it isn't possible to join the club without agreeing to the BCMC Waiver.

I'm a BCMC Member for many years and no longer attend trips. Why do I need to agree to a waiver?

2012-08-08T15:20:54+0000

It is a requirement of the Liability Policy that all Members must sign the approved waiver (BCMC Waiver). The new Website has been designed to ensure that we meet our obligation to the Insurer. We regret but all Members are required to agree to the BCMC Waiver for their own protection and that of other Members and the Club itself. We would be pleased to hear from you if you have some concerns or suggestions on how to improve this policy.
