You are required to obtain a minimum of $2 million dollars in third party liability insurance to protect you, your organization and the City from lawsuits that may arise from your rental. Third party-liability insurance is mandatory. Your event will not be permitted to take place and you will not be permitted to use City property / services without acceptable proof of insurance.

For a small fee, which is based on the number of estimated event participants, the City of Hamilton offers third party liability insurance to eligible events with attendance up to 999 people that take place on City property through its GameDay Insurance program. If you are interested in purchasing your liability insurance through the City's GameDay Insurance program, please check ‘Yes' (below) so that we can book the insurance for you. GameDay Insurance does not provide coverage for rentals with more high-risk activities (e.g. bouncy castles). If your event will have these types of activities, you will be required to submit an additional Certificate of Insurance naming the City of Hamilton as an ‘additional insured.’

The City of Hamilton collects information under authority of Section 227 of the Municipal Act, 2001.  Any personal information collected will be used for sport event/tournament request administration and managing approvals and permits required for sport event/tournament. By providing your contact information, you are consenting to being contacted from the City of Hamilton and/or their agents/contractors for purposes of administration, management and enforcement of the City's permits and applications related to rentals.
