Insuring your property and equipment As every athlete, and parent of athlete, knows, sporting equipment carries a heavy price tag. Having to replace this equipment for wear and tear comes with the territory, but what about those instances when the equipment needs to be replaced for other reasons? Travelling to a sporting competition with your equipment takes some advance planning and conversation with your broker to make sure your equipment is covered in case of damage or lo...ss. Things to consider when preparing to travel with your equipment 1. Does your policy cover property worldwide? Are there any limitations on coverage territory? 2. Who owns the sporting equipment? In most cases, only the equipment owned by the Policy holder will be covered, not equipment owned by individual athletes. 3. If you aren’t covered by the association, will your homeowner’s policy cover this equipment while you’re competing? 4. If you’re borrowing equipment from your association, is this equipment properly insured for travel? If you’re a member of an association for a sport that requires high value equipment, consider asking them to develop a buy-in program to insure your equipment for travel, damage and participation in sanctioned events.

Sport Accident No matter how careful you are, sports related injuries are part of life as an athlete. Most athletes, or parents of athletes, are familiar with the drill- injury, ice, rest, physio. Injuries, and the resulting time on the side lines, can take its toll on players, coaches, teams and families. From a financial perspective, the frustrations can quickly turn to panic as the costs mount. Unfortunately, provincial health plans do not cover physio, and personal benefi...t plans can be quickly depleted. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to support your athletes in their recovery? Enter, Sport Accident Insurance. This coverage will step in to pick up costs such as physio and dentistry once personal benefits or provincial health insurance have been exhausted.

As a player, the financial burden of recovering from injury is alleviated, allowing you to focus 100% on getting back to the game you love best.
