Need help?
Your Specialist can help you estimate how much coverage you need. They will also help you decide on the type of coverage you need and the deductible (your portion of an insured loss).
Will my insurance cover me if I participate in home share or short term rental?
Yes, but there are limits and exclusions.
You are insured while you rent your dwelling to others, up to a maximum of 30 days in total, in one policy term.
For the duration of the rental period, loss or damage caused by theft is not covered.

How can I add jewellery (etc) to my home policy?
Your home policy will cover the personal items in your home (subject to limits) which can include your furniture and appliances, clothing, jewellery, electronics, cameras, etc.
Although specialty items (such as jewellery, furs, artwork, coin collections, bicycles, etc.) are included in your personal property, they are often subject to specific limits.
When higher limits are required for specialty items, you can purchase optional riders to enhance coverage.
Please connect with us to ensure that you have adequate coverage to protect you and your valuables.
Do you have preferred suppliers or repair facilities?
Yes, we do. You can ask your Specialist or Claims Adjuster for a referral from the list.
What are private structures?
Private structures are also known as additional buildings. They are sheds, detached garages, gazebos, etc. that are located on your property.

Does having a woodstove affect my policy or coverage?
If your property has a woodstove, or you’re thinking about installing one, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. For starters, you’ll need to provide the following information:
Whether or not the stove was (or will be) professionally installed
The type of fuel it burns—logs or pellets
The amount of fuel you burn in a season
Whether or not the stove is certified by a recognized Canadian certification agency.
If you have any specific questions about woodstoves and home insurance, your Specialist will be happy to answer them.
