RE: 			Certificate of Insurance Update

Members, the Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau (“CSSB”) is writing to advise you that your renewed Certificates of Insurance on file with the CSSB must include the following:

1) 	ALL Manufacturer and Member Contractor/Installers members MUST submit a Certificate of Insurance confirming a Commercial General Liability coverage limit of $2 million dollars ($2,000,000 Limit of Liability Per Occurrence or $1,000,000 Limit of Liability Per Occurrence and $1,000,000 Umbrella Liability). 
2) 	The Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau (full name, not the acronym) MUST be named as additional insured on each Member's Certificate of Insurance. Only use the association's Canadian address on the Certificate of Insurance (address listed on next page). Members should contact their insurance broker to request this document. If your firm operates under another name make sure the name listed with the CSSB is clear on the paperwork submitted. 
3) 	The following phrase needs to appear on the Certificate of Insurance: "Cedar Shake and Shingle Bureau is added as an Additional Insured but only with respect to liability arising out of the operations of the Named Insured". 
4) **NEW** A notice of cancellation clause is to be included and must read as follows: “Should any of the policies described herein be cancelled before the expiration date thereof, the insurer(s) affording coverage will provide 30 days’ written notice to the certificate holder named herein.”

Please note that it is each Member’s responsibility to keep accurate, current insurance documentation on file with the CSSB. Please ask someone reliable at your firm to take responsibility for sending in the annual update. Thank you for your cooperation.
