Above is the link to incorporating a society

Summary of my presentation:

https://sportlaw.ca/returning-to-participation-under-covid-19-updating-your-waivers-and-forms/

Any indication from the Municipalities as to their positions on requiring COVID19 coverage?

For the informed consent agreement for participants under 19, is the child supposed to be signing this document?

The current waiver or informed consent from Softball BC does not have a place for an association to add their name. Does that mean they need to develop their own or different waiver?

apologies you may have covered this up front when I was trying to join. did you recommend incorporating as well as setting up a society? or is being a society the same as being incorporated?

I have a question about those of us that are registered as societies. Do we need to worry about our own personalhome insurance the same as those that are not registered as societies

if our Association is a registered society, do we need to incorporate?

Could someone speak to the issue of umpires? They are not members of any particular association (sort of free agents). If someone were to sue them (including for non-COVID-related reasons), are they covered by the "Forever release and indemnify Softball BC..." clauses of the release?

If someone decided to sue everyone, naming specific people, even if those people are part of a registered society, are those individuals responsible for their own legal fees? I would assume the first move would be to have them removed from the lawsuit but it can still be a large expense just for legal fees.

We've heard that waivers are not effective when signed by minors; will our new Softball BC comprehensive waivers going to be effective for our adult players?

more to Kyle's question regarding umpires …. as a lawyer, would you recommend that umpires seek additional coverage on their own, such as that available through NASO?

Who else does SBBC expect to sign the waivers? Parents who might help on occasion? coaches?members of executive? Does this mean they all must be members of SBBC?

NASO - National Association of Sport Officials

Steve Where did you find that indemnity clause for societies

Thank you!

Should we expect parents to sign waivers (for themselves) when they are registering and signing waivers for their children to play?

Section 64 of the Act.

So are we going to see another revision of the SBBC waiver and other liability documents now?

Thank you Steve

Thank you

can we have the verbiage to add LSOs to the waiver?

Thanks

Thanks Rick (any coverage for an umpire making a bad call?)

Can we also change them to explicitly name umpires in the waiver?

OUCH!

Why are people picking on us?

Are associations sending forms out before we have gotten the go ahead to play ball? Its Blair from KMFS
