Important Changes to Insurance Requirements in 2026
At the June 2025 Council Meeting, Council approved changes to the Association's insurance policy for Certificate of Authorization holders,
which will come into force January 1, 2026. Upcoming changes include raising policy limit minimums, eliminating stipulations regarding minimum
deductibles/self-insured retentions, clarifying that Manufacturer's Errors & Omissions and Contractor's Errors & Omissions policies do not qualify and are not acceptable
alternatives to professional liability insurance, and eliminating exemptions for shipping, nuclear, and aviation industries. In addition, changes approved
at the 2024 Annual General Meeting to By-law 18.2 require sole proprietors (members offering services to the public without a corporate entity or partnership) to carry
the same level of insurance coverage as Certificate of Authorization holders. For more information, please see the full
