Special Message from Acera Insurance:

With wildfires burning in several regions in the province, Acera Insurance would like to remind members that the automatic insurance provided with your AEF membership protects you for liability arising from the temporary care, custody, and control of up to three non-owned horses that have been displaced due to fire, flood, and other natural disasters.

Acera is also obliged to advise that new (policies) may be adversely affected if there is an active fire within 50 kms of the applicant at inception of coverage.

If you have questions about your AEF member insurance coverage, contact your Acera Insurance equine specialists at 1-800-670-1877.
