Title: Camera insurance in Canada
Post by: kingjon on April 15, 2009, 22:24

Can anyone recommend an insurance company in Canada for camera equipment. I don't think I can use my home insurance since I sell images. I've done a few searches on the net and find mostly US based info.

Thanks,

in the 80's when i was actively full time pro as both a musician and photographer,we  had coverage with prudential . also another  one with Wawanesa (spelling ???) it's been a long time, so  they make have been bought over.
but i would ask a bank manager of one of the 4 chartered banks (TD RB CIBC BNS)
and if they don't handle floaters for pro equipment, you could ask them to recommend a reputable company who does.
if i recall, it was just an all risk floater for professional equipment, added to my home insurance.

UPDATE:
or consult CAPIC

I've used these folks for years. Their prices are reasonable and the PhotoPac policy is very comprehensive. It includes a million or so of 3rd party. Contact Judi Heron.
