Clearwater County hosts a number of community halls, offering a wide variety of services and amenities within our area. Clearwater County Council supports local halls by providing them with insurance coverage, as well as bi-annually budgeting funds towards a Capital Grant that halls may apply for.
Special Event Insurance for Renters
Clearwater County and Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) Insurance have introduced an online program that allows renters of our community halls and facilities to purchase event insurance directly through Instant Risk Coverage (IRC). Renters will be able to choose between a wide variety of events (wedding, family reunion, knitting group – the list is endless) and they will receive an instant quote before they decide to purchase coverage. Should an incident occur during an event hosted by a third party, the hall/facility has coverage through their existing insurance but the renter does not. The renter would be required to fund their own defence which can be very expensive depending on the severity of the claim. It is recommended to purchase special event insurance for medium or high risk events (especially those involving alcohol), but that is left up to the discretion of the organization and the renter. If you are renting a facility in Clearwater County and would like to purchase event insurance, use this link: https://rmamember.instantrc.ca/login. You will need to create an account to begin your orderRMA Demo Video: see a walkthrough on how to purchase event insurance
