University of Waterloo

The University of Waterloo has a broad insurance program that covers all University property against accidental loss or damage, and provides protection to all members of the University against third party liability claims arising from University related activities. The insurance program is administered by the Finance department.

The University has been a member of Canadian Universities Reiprocal Insurance Exchange (CURIE) since May 1998. CURIE provides the University of Waterloo's two largest policies - property and general liability. The University insures its remaining risks with commercial insurers and has a number of policies covering auto, boiler and machinery, environmental pollution, accident, non-owned aircraft and umbrella liability.

All property, general liability and remaining commercial insurance policy inquiries can be directed to Jamie Mahony at jsmahony@uwaterloo.ca or by phone at 519-888-4567 extension 33686.

The insurance program pertaining to employee benefits, e.g. life insurance and health, is handled by Human Resources.
