HELMET POLICY
The Cornwall Curling Club helmet policy follows the recommendations of Curling Canada:
- Helmets be mandatory for anyone under the age of 12.
- CSA-approved helmets for use on ice are strongly recommended.
- After Under-12, parents MUST sign waiver of assumption of risk or, helmets are worn until the age of majority in that province/territory.
- Curling Canada strongly recommends that anyone in a Learn-To-Curl program (adults or juniors) wears protective headgear.
- Curling Canada strongly recommends that anyone who is vulnerable (related to experience, medical, etc.) wear protective headgear on ice or, sign waivers if choosing not to wear protective headgear
