Insurance
All facility rentals require proof of insurance. Renters may use their own insurance; in which case, the certificate must list the Municipality of West Nipissing as “additional insured”.
Alternatively, renters can use the online Insurance Portal, which is commonly used for one-time and hourly rentals. We will receive your insurance certificate once the steps below are completed:
- Create a profile and login.
- Get the coverage.
- Pay the insurer.
