ENCON Launches New Sports, Leisure and Recreation Program

OTTAWA, ON – August 3rd, 2016 – ENCON Group Inc., a leading managing general agent in Canada, is pleased to announce the launch of a new Sports, Leisure and Recreation program that protects owners and operators against a variety of liability risks, from bodily injury and property damage to accusations of negligence and faulty equipment.

“As there is a variety of Sports, Leisure and Recreation products in the marketplace, it is critical that businesses examine the coverages being offered to ensure that they suit their needs and don’t specifically exclude any activities or individuals with risk exposures,” said J.D.
