CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
NOTICE FROM CROSS COUNTRY BC.
Clubs that allow dogs on their premises are advised to inform dog owners that they are responsible for their dog's behavior. The owner of a dog is responsible for maintaining control over his/her pet and to be in abidance of any bylaws etc. that govern having a pet in public. If a skier is interfered with by a dog and suffers bodily injury, and they sue the dog owner and the club for damages, the club will be fully protected under the CCC/CCBC liability insurance policy. However the owner of the dog has no protection and is personally responsible for is/her dog's actions just as they would be in other similar settings. This clarification should be consistent with most peoples' understanding of how the CCC/CCBC policy has been working in the past. .
