OSBIE Insurance
For Individuals unable to obtain their own Insurance, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has partnered with OSBIE (Ontario School Boards Insurance Exchange). OSBIE offers an affordable solution to those users needing Insurance for their community activity or event in a simple and comprehensive format. Please note that OSBIE insurance is meant for private individuals only. Businesses of any kind and sports groups that belong to leagues are not eligible to purchase OSBIE Insurance.
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.
