Insurance

Thompson Rivers University participates in the University, College and Institute Protection Program (UCIPP), administered and delivered by the Risk Management Branch of the Ministry of Finance. UCIPP administers TRU's liability and property insurance coverage.

Questions related to TRU's insurance program, or any reports about incidents or possible claims, should be sent to Risk Management Services at risk@tru.ca.

Risk Management Services is also responsible for liaising with the provincial Risk Management Branch of BC's Ministry of Finance and TRU Legal Services to review the insurance requirements, liability and indemnification provisions contained in any contract, lease or waiver document. The Financial Administration Act of BC prohibits us from giving indemnities without prior approval from the province. Contracts that contain indemnity clauses may not be executed without this approval.

If you think that you may have an agreement that includes an indemnity clause, please contact Risk Management Services at risk@tru.ca
