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.

A "Certificate of Insurance" document is available from the ORA Office if you are required to show evidence of insurance coverage.

1. 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. Contact 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 of alcohol.

2. Sport Accident Coverage provides coverage to those who have paid dues and insurance for participating in the Sport of Ringette. Coverage is not provided for an injury while participating in other activities (soccer, running, swimming, etc.). The Ontario Ringette Association only provides basic Sport Accident Coverage. Any additional insurance is strictly the responsibility of an individual member.

3. If you are required to have your local City etc. named as an "Additional Insured" on the policy contact the ORA OFFICE with the name of the additional insured and we will make arrangements for this coverage at no extra cost.
