Event Insurance

The Township of Minden Hills requires all events taking place on Township property, which are not in the control of the municipality, to provide a certificate of insurance with $5,000,000 general liability that names the ”Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills” as being additional insured. This certificate must be provided to the Community Services Department. Please contact them for more information at 705-286-1936 ext. 554.

General Liability coverage is required to be provided by third party users of the township's facilities to protect the township and its citizens from any potential claims that may arise during the usage of these facilities.

Local Community Insurance Services (LCIS)

The Township of Minden Hills has made arrangements with our insurance company to provide convenient and affordable event insurance to individual users of our parks and facilities. For a small fee, many classes of medium and low risk sporting events and activities can be insured with the required coverage. Organizations do not qualify for LCIS insurance coverage. 

These events must not involve alcohol in order for coverage to be available.
