Respectful Participation Disclaimer
All of our walks are intended to be welcoming, inclusive, and respectful spaces for learning, reflection, and connection to the land. This includes walks led by the Truth & Reconciliation Committee (TRC) and other community leaders, where respectful engagement is especially important due to the cultural and educational nature of the experience.
We reserve the right to refuse or revoke participation at any time for individuals who display disrespectful, disruptive, or harmful behaviour, including but not limited to:
-
Disregard for facilitators or community knowledge holders
-
Use of discriminatory or offensive language
-
Actions that threaten the emotional or physical safety of others
These experiences are offered in a spirit of reconciliation, education, and community-building. We ask all participants to arrive with an open mind, a willingness to listen, and respect for the diverse perspectives shared.
Thank you for helping us foster a space where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and valued.
Important Notice: Cancellation Policy for River Valley Alliance Walks and Bike Tours
Ensuring Participant Safety During Poor Air Quality
At the River Valley Alliance, the health and safety of our participants are our top priority. To protect everyone during periods of compromised air quality due to smoke, we have established the following cancellation policy:
Air Quality Monitoring:
- We continuously monitor the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) before and during our outdoor activities.
Air Quality Cancellation Threshold:
- If the AQHI reaches a level of 7 or above, indicating high health risk, all scheduled walks and bike tours will be cancelled.
Cold Weather Cancellation Threshold:
- If the temperature feels like -20°C or colder with the windchill, all scheduled walks and bike tours will be cancelled to prevent cold-related health risks.
Notification Process:
- Participants will be notified of cancellations via email, our website, and social media channels.
- If air quality or temperature suddenly changes during an activity, on-site staff will immediately inform participants and terminate the event if necessary.
Health and Safety Advisory:
- We encourage all participants to stay informed about air quality and weather conditions.
- Participants should dress appropriately for the weather and consult a healthcare provider if they have any concerns about participating in outdoor activities.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment to safety!
