Event Liability Insurance
Renters must provide their own Event Liability Insurance in any combination of the following scenarios:
1) events with any outside food,
2) events when renters provide their own staff (to be negotiated with our programming team),
3) events where our staff are not onsite (to be negotiated with our programming team), and
4) on the rare occasion an event brings in any outside alcohol (to be negotiated with our programming team and requiring a Special Occasions Permit from the AGCO).
Tranzac is a member of the Duuo network of venues. For ease of implementation and discounts, you can get a quote or obtain your Event Liability Insurance at duuo.ca. When you obtain Event Liability Insurance from Duuo, a digital copy of your insurance will be sent automatically to the Tranzac. For a 20% discount, enter our address (292 Brunswick) in the "location" field during the quote and select the address that has Duuo Partner highlighted in red beside it
Use of Duuo as a provider is not required, renters should acquire liability insurance from a provider of their choice.
