Since we will be traveling out of the province, we highly recommend that you check with your employer to see if you have out of town insurance coverage before the trip.
Most of you through your current employer should already have this option. If you do, please ensure that you bring this info with you on the trip! If you are not covered, we are offering the purchase of Medical Insurance through Advance Travel (Agency) in Brampton. We would have a copy of the insurance plan with us and if necessary, can make a copy for any claims that need to be made.
Note: You must have a valid Ontario Health Card (OHIP coverage) and a correct Date of Birth on file to be eligible to purchase this Medical Insurance. If you do not have OHIP coverage, we recommend that you arrange for Medical Insurance with other carriers. ie. Banks, CAA. For more information, contact us.
