Before permits can be approved, permit holders MUST have Liability Insurance with coverage of no less than $2 million per occurrence. Such coverage shall not exclude injury to participants.
OSBIE Insurance
For those who are unable to obtain their own Insurance, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has partnered with OSBIE (Ontario School Boards Insurance Exchange) to provide User Group Insurance. OSBIE offers a solution to those users needing Insurance for their community activity or event in a simple and comprehensive format.
OSBIE Insurance can be purchased online at: osbie.ca/FacilityUserInsur
IMPORTANT: Purchasing OSBIE Insurance DOES NOT guarantee that your permit is approved, we encourage you to wait to purchase OSBIE insurance after a Community Use Booking agent has confirmed that your permit request can be approved. Permits will only be approved once Community Use has received the certificate of insurance.
