Proof of vaccination will be required for all community members participating in in-person experiences.

For in-person experiences: Please conduct a health check before going to any in-person experiences. If you are feeling unwell or have symptoms such as a fever, cough, loss of smell or taste, please stay home and seek medical assistance.

Current health guidelines mandates mask wearing for everyone aged 5 years old and up in public indoor spaces.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Curiko at (604) 862-5836 or hello@curiko.ca

2. My participation and use of the Curiko are at my own responsibility & risk

The experiences I receive through Curiko come with no guarantees, expressed or implied. Curiko makes no guarantee that experiences will match or meet my needs.

Curiko is brought to you by the “Partner Organizations”: Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion, posAbilities, Kinsight, and InWithForward. Curiko is not an agent of the Partner Organizations, or of any other party or person. Staff or volunteers from Partner Organizations will not be held responsible, or assume any liability for any claims, damages or other occurrences which may arise from provision or receipt of experiences through Curiko. Any agreement for experiences shall be made solely and between people who attend experiences and Hosts. I understand and agree that Curiko does not and cannot control, endorse, or guarantee the quality or character of any participant or Host—even though Curiko conducts a criminal background check on Community Members. I agree that Curiko (operated the Partner Organizations) is not responsible for the actions of any participant or Curiko. I understand and agree that I assume all risk and obligation for relying upon the quality, accuracy, reliability, honesty, and trustworthiness of other Hosts and participants.
