Scouts Canada is pleased to report that they have successfully renewed the general liability insurance for another year. Such renewals often bring about changes and new requirements in order to secure coverage. It is important that these changes be communicated clearly and effectively to our membership. To this end, a document has been created to clarify these new requirements, and to answer specific questions you may have. Please see the PDF document below. Your attention and cooperation are appreciated.
