WEB HOSTING:

Eligibility: Ensemble Membership
Cost: FREE

CBA-Ontario offers instrumental ensemble members the opportunity to enjoy free web hosting!  Ensembles will be required to own or purchase a custom domain name through any online provider (eg. www.yourbandname.com).  A custom FTP account will be created for your organization to allow for the transfer, upload, and maintenance of your website.  We recommend that your webmaster or web designer assist you in this process.

Note: The CBA-Ontario simply provides the space for you to host your website.  Design, transfer of sites, uploading files, and maintenance are at the discretion of the ensemble/organization. 

BandSURE INSURANCE PROGRAM:

Eligibility: Ensemble Membership

As with other non-profit organizations, rising costs for bands constantly compete with the imperative of securing reliable insurance protection for the organization and the volunteers who serve it.

The BandSure property and casualty insurance program satisfies both these needs, providing affordable and appropriate insurance coverage for non-profit ensembles.  The BandSure Insurance Program has been providing affordable insurance coverage for members of the CBA-Ontario since 2008.  The program includes Liability limits of up to $5,000,000 along with affordable property rates and an extended selection of additional features.  Directors & Officers Liability coverage is optional, again at very competitive prices.

This program is not included with membership signup.  To opt into this program ensemble members must:

1. Become an annual member of CBA-Ontario
2. Contact CBA-Ontario for further information on how to apply for this insurance program.
