Insurance Coverage for Non-profit Organizations

WHEREAS small communities with limited resources rely heavily on voluntary, non-profit organizations to operate facilities, provide recreational and social opportunities, and host community events; AND WHEREAS the inability to provide increasingly costly insurance coverage for directors, officers and members is deemed to place organizations and volunteers at risk, and acts as a deterrent to the attraction of new members: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government and the Municipal Insurance Association investigate options for the provision of reasonably priced insurance for non-profit, community-based organizations, societies and recreation providers.
