**NEW** Cannabis Event Liability

  • PAL’s Cannabis Event Liability is the first of its kind in the Special Events world. Cannabis Event coverage is now available for clients who may have a Cannabis exposure at their event, with or without knowing that the actual Cannabis exposure exists.
  • The legalization of Cannabis across Canada, has posed a new element of risk for various event organizers, as many Canadians may be “lighting up” on the event premises. Anything from family gatherings and small reception style events to an outdoor music festival with a designated smoking area, the Cannabis usage will most likely exist.
  • PAL’s Cannabis Event Liability, has been designed to clearly protect the Named Insured’s negligence when there is Cannabis consumed on the event premises via an event attendee who consumes their own (legally obtained Cannabis) on the event premises or a third party supplier.
  • Please note that coverage is NOT intended for the event organizer/host to supply Cannabis to their event.
  • Examples of Coverage areas are as follows:
    • Reception Style events where an attendee may bring their own Cannabis and consume outdoors, on the event premises.
    • Designated/Licensed Cannabis areas, located outdoors at various events, such as: Concerts, Festivals, Fairs,
    • A Third-Party Vendor, who may be at the insureds events serving, selling or sampling their Cannabis product to the event attendees. (Third Party Vendor to carry a minimum $2mill liability for their operations along with Product Liability)
    • Any event where invited attendees may walk outdoors, consume their own Cannabis and allowed to re-enter the event itself.
    • Common exclusions are as follows, but not limited too: Event host/Organizer supplying any form of cannabis, damages as a result of smoking Cannabis indoors, Minors consuming or handling any form of Cannabis or Alcohol, Third Party Vendors are excluded and required to carry their own insurance coverage.
