- I/we agree that the City of Selkirk and/or its employees, servants or agents shall not be liable for any injury to any person or loss or damage to personal property arising from, or in any way resulting from, my or my child’s participation in these activities, unless such injury, loss or damage is caused solely by the negligence of the City or its employees, servants, or agents while acting.
