Alberta cottage and cabin insurance

The distinctive silhouette of birch trees, the refreshing tingle of a dip in cool waters, the cozy crackle of a campfire, the haunting call of the loon— cottaging and cabining in Alberta is a time-honoured tradition in Canada and it deserves custom protection.

A cabin insurance policy covers…

  • Fire, theft, explosion and vandalism
  • Damage from falling objects 
  • Lightning, hail and windstorm damage 
  • Impact by aircraft, watercraft or land vehicle
  • Building collapse
  • Damage caused by bears, racoons and squirrels
  • And more …
