The only product of its kind in Canada, Community Guard® is a carefully chosen suite of affordable insurance options designed to protect non-profit and voluntary organizations. It’s our way of supporting those who support our communities.
Take advantage of built-in benefits
With us as your partner, you’ll save time and money, and the hassle of securing coverage and financial services through multiple carriers.
Stable premiums
Ensure that your rates never increase by more than 5% a year, if your coverage stays the same and you stay claims-free. If a larger increase is necessary, we’ll let you know at least 12 months in advance, so you have time to adjust your budget.
Automatic savings
Benefit from our free monthly payment plan, which protects your organization from unnecessary fees. You could save the equivalent of 4% to 12% of your annual premium costs.
Helpful resources
Get information, tips, and insights around risk management that help strengthen your organization’s overall resilience.
Legal assistance helpline
Included with your policy, the helpline allows you to speak with a lawyer in confidence, at no additional cost and with no impact to your policy.
Convenient access
Easily connect with an experienced financial representative, online or by phone, for personalized advice and 24-hour claims assistance.
