Liability Insurance Coverage for CADS – NCD Registered Members

Registered members of the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiiing – National Capital Division receive membership in the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing (CADS).

CADS secures General Liability Insurance under a blanket policy provided through the Canadian Snowsports Association (CSA), which applies to all Members in Good Standing with both CADS – NCD and CADS.

The policy includes third party liability insurance that provides protection against potential legal actions against CADS instructors, volunteers, and students. This liability insurance coverage applies for registered participants and volunteers, including the Directors and Officers of CADS – NCD and of all recognized adaptive alpine skiing and snowboarding programs in the Division. It is important to understand this insurance is not personal accident insurance or property insurance.
