The Community Partner Insurance Program provides commercial third-party liability insurance to community associations that represent a geographical area of the City of Ottawa and meet the criteria set out in the program guidelines.
We invite local not-for-profit community associations and organizations (herein referred to as “Community Associations”) representing geographic communities and neighbourhoods within the City of Ottawa, to apply for Commercial Third-Party Liability insurance coverage through the Community Partnership Insurance Program. This coverage is available for Community Associations whose primary mandate is representing a neighbourhood on a broad range of civic matters. These eligible activities for insurance coverage are assessed and approved by the Insurance Broker during their intake process. The Broker’s evaluation ensures that all activities meet the necessary criteria and align with the program’s guidelines for liability coverage.
This two-step intake process will initially confirm whether a Community Association is eligible to proceed to the City’s designated Broker. Eligible Community Associations will then work with the Broker to identify and confirm their desired activities for Community Partner Insurance Program Commercial Third-Party Liability insurance coverage.
