Canadian Forest Owners Group Insurance Program |
Canadian Forest Owners, in association with the Ontario Woodlot Association, has appointed BrokerLink as our exclusive insurance broker. We’re proud to offer a comprehensive suite of insurance products designed specifically for forest owners. This partnership ensures our members have access to knowledgeable insurance advisors, competitive coverage options and personalized service — all backed by a respected national brand.
Members of the Ontario Woodlot Association have access to a full suite of insurance products designed specifically to protect both your personal and business assets. Designed by foresters and forest owners who understand your challenges, this practical solution offers peace of mind and financial security with the following suite of insurance products available.
Forest Damage Insurance - Protect your forest from damage and losses caused by natural disasters such as fire, windstorm and ice — with an affordable, flexible insurance package. Whether you own a family woodlot or manage a large commercial forest, we tailor coverage to meet your unique needs - from replanting costs to remediation and cleanup, to the full commercial value of your trees. Vacant Land Liability - Liability coverage designed to protect you if someone is injured on land you own that has no structures. A Vacant Land Liability policy can also include coverage for hobby farms and forest fire liability, protecting you if you’re found responsible for a fire. Personal Home and Auto - Members qualify for exclusive group discounts on personal home and auto insurance through BrokerLink's Group Insurance Program - offering comprehensive protection and added value for your insurance needs. Accidental Death & Dismemberment - AD&D Insurance provides financial protection in the event of an accidental death or certain serious injuries. Unlike life insurance, AD&D specifically covers accidents rather than natural causes. |

Hear what OWA members say:
| “I genuinely feel like we are properly covered by this insurance. The program is a great step forward for woodlot owners whose properties are not adequately covered by residential or farm insurance. The biggest draw for us was the very economical liability insurance, but of course the other available coverages will also be highly beneficial.” - Colleen Drew-Baehre, President, Ontario Woodlot Association |
“As a relatively young farm family, we’ve found that crop production insurance provides peace of mind for crop losses caused by factors beyond our control. We also have large woodland holdings that we couldn't previously insure. Our timber crop is highly valuable but vulnerable to wind, ice and fire. The affordable Forest Damage Insurance allows us to insure our woodlots against a financial loss and access coverage for cleanup and reforestation if we ever need it. Our family’s woodlots are more than an investment; they are an integral part of our farm and way of life.” - Denice & Paul Robertson, Niagara Chapter, OWA, Cooks Mills Farms |
