Insurance
All rentals are required to have a $2 million-dollar general liability policy unless otherwise indicated.
AON Canada offers access to an event insurance option which provides organizers and groups affordable access to liability insurance when planning events. Coverage may be obtained for community or family events as well as a wide range of sporting activities (including organized leagues and sport camps).
It is important to note that inclusion in the program is voluntary. Residents may contact any insurance provider to inquire about coverage that best suits their needs. HRM is providing an option for residents to access group liability insurance.
