Forest Damage Insurance

Protect your forest from damage and losses caused by natural disasters such as fire, windstorm and ice — with an affordable, flexible insurance package. Whether you own a family woodlot or manage a large commercial forest, coverage is tailored to meet your unique needs - from replanting costs to remediation and cleanup, to the full commercial value of your trees.

Vacant Land Liability

Liability coverage designed to protect you if someone is injured on land you own that has no structures. A Vacant Land Liability policy can also include coverage for hobby farms and forest fire liability, protecting you if you’re found responsible for a fire.

Personal Home and Auto

Members qualify for exclusive group discounts on personal home and auto insurance through BrokerLink's Group Insurance Program - offering comprehensive protection and added value for your insurance needs.

Accidental Death & Dismemberment

AD&D Insurance provides financial protection in the event of an accidental death or certain serious injuries. Unlike life insurance, AD&D specifically covers accidents rather than natural causes.

Testimonials

“Ultimately, our (previous) broker was able to find only one company willing to provide liability coverage and that insurer would not offer any comprehensive/damage protection and completely excluded any liability related to fire. The premium for $2 million liability was $935, significantly higher than expected. Then we spoke with Mark Campbell at BrokerLink about the Group Insurance offered through the OWA. He immediately knew what was needed. Mark directed me to the online application form and after 10 minutes online answering a few questions, we had better liability coverage for $264!”
Leslie Prevost, Ontario Woodlot Association
“As a relatively young farm family, we’ve found that crop production insurance provides peace of mind for crop losses caused by factors beyond our control. We also have large woodland holdings that we couldn't previously insure. Our timber crop is highly valuable but vulnerable to wind, ice and fire. The affordable Forest Damage Insurance allows us to insure our woodlots against a financial loss and access coverage for cleanup and reforestation if we ever need it. Our family’s woodlots are more than an investment; they are an integral part of our farm and way of life.”
