Code of Conduct

Auckland University Canoe Club Incorporated (AUCC)

1.You will uphold kaitiakitanga:

Kaitiakitanga best translates to meaning guardianship and protection

AUCC recognises its role and responsibilities as kaitiaki (guardians) of not just our physical environment, but also our traditions, knowledge, culture, and taonga (prized item or resource)

As a member of AUCC you can expect us to represent you in protecting our environment in many ways. Including but not limited to reducing our environmental impact as much as possible, submitting our opinions on relevant policies and resource consents, and anything else that contributes to the conservation of our environment and rivers.

We expect you to do your best to individually reduce your environmental impact and work towards sustainable practices

Knowledge and skills learnt and developed at AUCC should be passed along to the next generation of members

As an AUCC member we expect you to protect any taonga you come across

You are the kaitiaki of this Code - protect and respect this Code. Stand up if you see it being disrespected.

2.You will act with Manaakitanga:

Manaakitanga is a value that very loosely translates to ‘hospitality’. It is the art of being kind, generous, and showing encouragement and support to everyone, regardless of who they are.

To live the value of manaakitanga in an AUCC context:

Bullying, harassment or discrimination of any kind will not be accepted. This includes sexual harassment of any kind.

You will not behave in a way that makes others feel unsafe or unwelcome.

Examples of things that will not be accepted, without limitation, include:

Using or possessing illicit drugs of any kind.

Constant excessive consumption of alcohol causing a nuisance, or causing harm to yourself or others.

Attempting to pressure others into doing something they do not want to do, such as consume alcohol.

Making inappropriate remarks to others.

Intoxication will not be tolerated as an excuse for poor behaviour.

3.You will encourage whanaungatanga:

Whanaungatanga is used to describe relationship/kinship/sense of family connection which provides people with a sense of belonging.

AUCC is first and foremost a community where people with an interest in whitewater and adventure can feel like they belong, and are valued and supported.

Acknowledge that you will not always agree with everyone. Everyone deserves the right to freedom of expression, with the responsibility of respecting and acknowledging others with different points of view.

Foster supportive and encouraging relationships between club members and the wider whitewater community.

Behaviour that goes against this code will be addressed through appropriate interventions, regardless of severity.

If you believe that there has been behaviour that contravenes this Code, please report it using the AUCC complaints process.

Disclaimer

As a university club, our instructors are all volunteers who give up their time to come along and instruct us paddlers and keep us safe on the river. As a result, we do not expect them to be available for every trip, and we do not have an unlimited number of instructors. Therefore, numbers on trips may be limited, in which case priority is assigned to those who have made an effort to be involved in the club through attendance at pool trainings and other events. Rest assured, we ensure that if you sign up and miss out on a trip, you'll be put on the priority list for the next trip!

If you aren't interested in progressing as a kayaker/rafter and are hoping to just come along on ONE trip with AUCC, we may suggest that you give this a go elsewhere as we may not be able to accommodate you for the single trip you sign up for 😦

If you're here for an AWESOME time, then our club has plenty of fun off the river too, not to mention being a great community to be a part of :)

Disclaimer* This field is required.Auckland University Canoe Club (AUCC) is a not-for-profit charitable organisation and our activities are funded by way of a cost recovery model. The majority of our funding originates from membership, gear hire fees, and the generosity of grants. Funding is used for the club’s core trip activities, gear maintenance and acquisition, liability and contents insurance and club administration. AUCC will not generally accept membership refunds unless under exceptional circumstances that would be decided on a case by case basis. This is accepted as best practise and in-line with other charities and sports clubs. Membership fees go towards covering many fixed costs associated with the management and maintenance of our club operations of which we already run on exceptionally small budgets.
