CHF Canada and Co-operators® have been working hard to provide you, our member housing co-ops, with tools and information to help develop an annual risk management program to reduce those risks in your co-ops that lead to injuries, maintenance issues, and higher premiums.

Co-ops that complete the activities required for Year One participation by September 30 will receive a discount of 5% on their insurance rate.

In the first year of the program, we will work with you and your Board to fully understand what risk management means. We want you to commit to the program and assign a contact person on the Board who will work with staff as the program gets developed. We want your board to understand the basics of risk management and the benefits to your co-op when you implement good risk management practices.

Year One consists of:
  1. A commitment in the form of a resolution by your Board to participate in the Risk Management Program for Year One and Year Two
  2. Education sessions for your Board so they can learn what risk management means and how important it is for the successful operation of your co-op
  3.  A self-assessment by the Board to see what risk management activities you currently undertake in your co-op
 
The board self-assessment is in two parts.

This is Part Two.

PART TWO – GUIDED DISCUSSION

This will be a 30-minute guided discussion during a Board meeting

The following self-assessment is designed to give your board the opportunity to apply the content of the webinar to your specific context. It will help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current risk management activities and help you distinguish your role as a board from that of staff/management and members.

Please fill in this survey using the summary from your discussion.

Confidentiality: Please note that your answers will not be shared with Co-operators® and will not impact your insurance. Your answers will only be used for CHF Canada to support you in managing your risks.
