Covid-19 Impact on Community Sport

COVID-19 has vastly impacted the sport sector, causing some community sport organizations to close indefinitely and others to modify the delivery of their programs and services. Sport For Life, based out of Calgary, is conducting a survey to better gauge  the COVID challenges at the community sport perspective.
 
The results of the survey will be shared with federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments as a catalyst for action to support local sport organizations. Sport Councils in Canada and local sport organizations who complete the survey will also get access to the results, providing information to assist them in taking local action.
 
Please complete this survey by  June 5, 2020  and share it with any other sports organizations in your network.

Q & A with CapriCMW
Q: I am aware that my NSEF membership provides me with $30,000 Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance, what is this coverage and what is included in this benefit? If I need more coverage than this policy provides – where can I get it?

A: The included Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance covers YOU, THE Member if you suffer from a scheduled (listed) catastrophic and permanent injury (or death) related to an accident where horses are involved. Some examples of coverage include permanent loss of vision, hearing, limb or movement, and death as detailed in the policy wording . This coverage restricted to members who are under the age of 90 years. This policy is in force 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and covers you anywhere in the world.

The AD&D policy provided in connection with membership does NOT cover, loss of income or wages, partial disability, fracture injuries or dental injuries, short or long term disability benefits.
If you are interested in increasing the AD&D benefit, we encourage you to consider purchasing the Optional AD&D coverage available thru your NSEF membership.

Lamaze and Hickstead Heading to Hall of Fame
Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2020/21 that will be inducted into its Hall of Fame and will receive the Order of Sport award, Canada’s highest sport honour. Of the six athletes and five builders who will be inducted, we are thrilled that Show Jumping super duo Eric Lamaze and Hickstead will be among them.  

Inductees were selected from over 260 public nominations and by a committee comprised of sports broadcasters, writers, academics and athletes, all for their ability to lead and inspire both on and off the field of play, for their sports accomplishments and in recognition of their continuing role in building Canada through sport and the value they return to their communities. The full press release can be found  here .
