Planning a Special Event?
Don’t forget to Apply for QFHSA Insurance
Follow these steps:
1. Use the QFHSA insurance form. Apply online for Event Insurance with this Google Form. Apply online for Blanket Food Insurance with this Google Form. Another option: Download a Word version of the QFHSA Insurance Form (used for event or blanket food insurance) available here.
2. Make sure all the information is accurate. Any changes to dates, times, etc., will require a new insurance form.
3. Keep in mind that the QFHSA’s insurance will not cover inflatables (bouncy castles, etc.).
4. If you are applying for insurance using the Word version of the insurance form, please submit your completed form to the QFHSA via email to info@qfhsa.org.
Remember: The insurance form must be submitted to our insurance provider for approval. That’s why it’s important to allow 10 business days for the processing of your request.
