Authority Vested by Pride

 

Requirement to Abide

The Parade and Community Fair is in Kemptville Pride’s name, and we are here to ensure a safe and orderly fair. The authority vested in Kemptville Pride extends to check-in and set-up staff, volunteers, barricade staff, and all other festival staff.

 

SAFETY, SECURITY & ACCESSIBILITY

 

Accessibility

Accessible washrooms will also be available, with more info to come. We recommend having your 2 chairs in front of your table, and offering their use to those needing a rest. This has the added benefit of making your booth more approachable. Questions can be directed to julia@itmevents.ca.

 

Restrooms

Portable restrooms (“porta potties”) will be stationed along Prescott Street and at Riverside Park.

 

First-Aid

Volunteers trained with First Aid and the use of Naloxone will be available throughout the site. The location of the first aid station will be sent in one week before the event.

 

Weather

The Parade and Community Fairl is a “rain or shine event.” We expect all exhibitors to be present regardless of weather conditions, and no refunds are offered on account of weather. In the event that weather poses a safety or security risk, Kemptville Pride will notify exhibitors of any changes via email.

 

Health

Please stay hydrated! Please bring and drink plenty of water. Even on cloudy days, the sun’s rays can be harmful.

• Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, and a wide-brimmed hat.
• Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more and reapply every 2 hours or more.
• Drink extra fluids. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of water, fruit juice, or vegetable juice per day. Because heat-related illness also can result from salt depletion, it may be advisable to substitute an electrolyte-rich sports drink for water during periods of extreme heat and humidity. Ask your doctor about the best types of fluid and how much you should be drinking.
• Avoid fluids containing either caffeine or alcohol, because both substances will enhance dehydration.
• If you have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease, are on a fluid-restricted diet, or have a problem with fluid retention, check with your doctor before increasing liquid intake.

 

Be aware of signs of heat exhaustion:

• Confusion
• Dark-colored urine (a sign of dehydration)
• Dizziness
• Fainting
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Muscle or abdominal cramps
• Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
• Pale skin
• Profuse sweating
• Rapid heartbeat

If you are concerned, please seek medical advice from Capital Pride’s on-site medical services.

Ontario Provincial Police, St. John’s Ambulance and the Kemptville Fire Department will be onsite to ensure the safety of Parade and festival goers and exhibitors. Please call 911 immediately if you feel your’s or someone else’s personal safety or security is at risk.
