A winning combination of expert guidance and a specialized insurance program coverage for qualifying condominium properties.
Cowan has been at the forefront of the Condominium Corporation Insurance sector for three decades, partnering with over 1,000 condominium corporations in Ontario to handle long-term condominium insurance responsibilities.
Cowan is a proud member of the Canadian Condominium Institute’s Grand River and Golden Horseshoe chapters. Our seasoned Condominium Insurance team is on hand to offer expert guidance to Board Members and Property Managers on insurance-related decisions that impact their condominium communities. Our team members are frequent presenters at property managers’ educational seminars. Their leadership and expertise are key reasons why condo boards entrust their needs to Cowan.
We offer a specialized insurance program tailored to condominium corporations. Our program provides some of the most comprehensive coverage available in the market. Going beyond the minimum insurance required by the Condominium Act, our program offers peace of mind and protection. Cowan understands that a Condominium Board member volunteers in an increasingly challenging environment. As a board member, you must ensure that the community’s needs are met and that having the correct insurance is paramount. We can help you be sure you have the proper coverage for the condominium and the correct coverage for your role as a board member.
Protection against mistakes in fiduciary duty; failure to comply with regulations, lack of corporate governance and creditor claims can make your role as a board member difficult. As a volunteer, you want to minimize this role’s impact on your life. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance is critical to your success. Ensure you are protected while protecting the condominium assets. Call Cowan for help navigating challenges.
