Why is it necessary to contact the Office of Insurance and Risk Management?
Eligible Users are encouraged to contact the Office of Insurance and Risk Management to ensure that appropriate University or other insurance is in place prior to holding an event. This step is one of due diligence for every event organizer. It protects both the University and the organizer. Insurance and Risk Management will determine whether University insurance applies. In some instances, additional insurance may need to be arranged. A service provided by an external supplier or the participation in a York University activity by an outside organization are examples that require additional insurance arrangements.
