Policy Issues / CCVO Insurance Activities

Lunch’n Learn Event Spotlight on Voluntary Sector Insurance Issues, September 12, 2005

Alberta Voluntary Sector Insurance Council
CCVO is a member of the Alberta Voluntary Sector Insurance Council, or AVSIC, which brings together the voluntary sector, insurance industry and Government of Alberta to address insurance-related issues affecting the voluntary sector.

AVSIC defines the voluntary sector as groups and organizations whose work is not-for-profit and governed by a board of volunteers. It does not include quasi-governmental groups such as hospitals or universities

The role of AVSIC is to:

  • Link to other provincial & national groups and forums.
  • Facilitate & direct research and data collection.
  • Develop recommendations on improving affordability, accessibility, stability and public policy.

The priority issues for AVSIC include:

  • Securing reliable and accurate data about the voluntary sector’s insurance needs and requirements
  • Ensuring the insurance industry has a better understanding of the voluntary sector
  • Working with the voluntary sector to develop a better understanding of the insurance industry
  • Assessment risk performance and benefits in the voluntary sector

Voluntary Sector Forum
