==='''Offering your Course to Members of the Public, or Friends and Family of Protospace Members'''===
While many courses offered at Protospace are geared to members' safe and effective use of Protospace tools and equipment or general safety, consider if your course can be a value-added benefit to the Protospace community and potential members of the general public. If you feel your course can be offered safely to non-members please ensure that:
#There is supervision (children must be within vision at all times)
#Safety protocols have been followed (specific to the activity and the space such as exits, washrooms, and emergency protocols)
#They have signed the waiver (same waiver for guests)
#The activity is noted in the insurance policy (Broker: John Kearney 403-221-7243)
#Protospace agrees to the class offered to non-members
