CWA Now Offering Canadian Insurance

Pdf Summary

The CWA announced ClimbInsure as its partner to create the first insurance program designed specifically for Canadian climbing facilities, a milestone paralleling its US insurance offering. The partnership is framed around the industry's long-term goals: increasing access to insurance, improving carriers' understanding of the risks in an indoor climbing gym, and providing sustained stability for CWA members, this time for the Canadian market. ClimbInsure, managed by Nacora Insurance Brokers, is credited with a consistent and staying presence in the industry over several years, and with a commitment to doing the job right, engaging relevant stakeholders respectfully, and already providing value to many organizations in the industry. The announcement highlights the program's first member: Grip It Climbing in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. By joining an insurance program whose mission is ensuring the overall health of the climbing industry, Jason Holowach and the Grip It team are described as putting safety, risk management, and best practices at the forefront of their business. The article notes that the ClimbInsure team has held a long interest in climbing, and that this shared passion for the sport and industry fostered the partnership between the CWA and Nacora Insurance Brokers. The throughline is that the CWA extended its commitment to insurance access and industry stability across the border, partnering with ClimbInsure to give Canadian climbing facilities their first purpose-built insurance program. Just as the CWA worked to secure stable, climbing-specific coverage for US members, this partnership addresses the same needs, access, carrier understanding of gym-specific risks, and long-term stability, for Canadian gyms that previously lacked a tailored option. By choosing a partner with a proven, respectful industry presence and a genuine passion for climbing, and by welcoming a founding member committed to safety and best practices, the CWA signaled that its mission of supporting the industry's health through insurance extends to the entire North American market. For Canadian operators, the announcement means access to insurance designed around their actual risks rather than generic coverage, backed by the CWA's industry-health mission.
