INSURANCE COVERAGE

 We are part of a National Insurance Program provided through Ringette Canada. The agent handling the coverage is B. F. Lorenzetti and Associates Inc. of Montreal.

Liability Coverage is provided for all normal Sports and Social Activities administered by the Ontario Ringette Association and its member local associations. Normal activities are considered to be clinics, games, practices, training activities/camps, fundraising/promotional events, association and/or team meetings, banquets and parties, registration events and functions, etc. These events must be approved by your Association Executive to be considered Sanctioned. This does not cover events /functions involving the serving of alcoholic beverages. A specific insurance extension, which involves an additional fee, is required for such events/functions. A written request for sanction approval of events/functions involving the serving of alcohol must be sent to the O.R.A. office one (1) month in advance of the event to ensure proper coverage is in place. This only applies when associations/members are directly responsible for the serving alcohol.

If you are required to have your local City named as an "Additional Insured" on the policy contact B. F. Lorenzetti direct with: dates of event, location, type of event, association name, name of additional insured and a copy of the contract.

Sport Accident Coverage provides coverage only for participating in the Sport of Ringette. Coverage is not provided for other activities (soccer, running, swimming, etc.) that an individual may participate in. Coverage is not provided for an injury while participating in these other activities or sports. The Ontario Ringette Association only provides basic Sport Accident Coverage. Any additional insurance is strictly the responsibility of an individual member.
