As part of the athlete accreditation process, the CBTF requires that all athletes provide a Health Certificate indicating they are in generally good health and are fit to compete.

The official CBTF Health Certificate is attached. It must be completed and signed by a physician. The original must be returned to Joanne Moser, Contingent Coordinator, no later than May 22, 2016. This can be done in person at the Canadian Contingent Meeting (May 22). Alternatively, a clear, scanned copy can be sent to Joanne by email at presidentcbtf [dot] ca (with the original following by physical mail).

ALL ATHLETES COMPETING AT THE CANADIAN TEAM TRIALS, PLEASE TAKE NOTE: Given the immediate entry requirements for the World Championships at the close of Team Trials, athletes must come prepared to submit their forms. All athletes competing at the Team Trials competition must bring along a fully completed medical certificate. If an athlete does not have it with him or her at the Team Trials, he or she will not be able to compete in Sweden. There is no wait time for an appointment after the Trials.

The same requirement also applies for a copy of the passport. A Canadian passport valid at least 6 months past the competition date in August 2016, must be produced at Team Trials. Once again, there is no opportunity for late submission. If an athlete does not produce this at Team Trials, he or she will not be able to compete at the World Championships.
